Greetings, nature enthusiasts!
The Alabama Foraging Club is excited to announce a foraging walk, led by Spencer Lowery, a mushroom enthusiast and the treasurer of the Alabama Mushroom Society. Spencer has been a mushroom enthusiast/forager for over 6 years. This walk promises to be a deep dive into the world of fungi, but that’s not all! The journey also covers an array of local plants, enhancing our understanding of the local ecosystem. 
Walk Details: – The walk commences at 10 am sharp! Please arrive a bit earlier to get settled. – Each walk will last approximately 2 hours. – Don’t forget to wear appropriate footwear and bring along water, a snack, and a bag or basket for your finds! 
Learning Experience: – Familiarize yourself with various species of mushrooms and their roles in our ecosystem. – Learn basic foraging skills and how to identify edible fungi and plants. – Gain insights into the importance of local plants and mushrooms in our biodiversity. Whether you’re an experienced forager, a mycology enthusiast, or just curious about local flora and fungi, you’re welcome to join us. This walk offers a unique opportunity to immerse yourself in nature, meet other foraging enthusiasts, and learn together.
Remember to RSVP as we are aiming for a small group size to ensure a personalized and engaging experience.
Please note: Your safety is paramount. We strongly advise against consuming any plants or mushrooms found during the walk without definitive identification. 
We can’t wait to see you at Double Oak Park! (NOTE: please navigate directly to Double Oak Park if using a mapping software as the listed address can take you further down the road)
