I saw this in the Examiner last weekend and HAD to post about it. It’s the most reasonably priced mushroom hunt I am aware of and includes a picnic lunch. It’s also evident from the pricing structure that kids are welcome, which makes me happy. At this point I definitely plan on being there with my two and hopefully the husband as well. Join us?
