Good to Know
- Leave Fido, cigarettes, drugs, and booze at home – they’re not invited to this shroom party!
- Go before you go and be prepared to use the “facilatrees.” There are no restrooms at the trailhead. There are public restrooms within a 6-minute drive of the meeting location for ease of use before and after the experience. Reminder to leave no trace in the woods…including toilet paper!
- Mushrooms love rain, and we do too. Our tours operate light rain or shine. We'll have rain canopies available if needed.
- All tastings are vegetarian.
