There are thousands of mushroom species in Texas and only a small amount of them are considered choice edibles. Forage.atx will teach you when, where and how to identify wild edibles, their look-alikes, and get tips on collecting, prepping and cooking. We will talk about the ethics of foraging and how we can all be better relatives to the fungi “kindom.”
All attendees will get a Edible Mushrooms of Texas Foraging Calendar and Guide.
Take your foraging to the next level! Forage.atx made this 'Wild Edible Mushroom of Texas Calendar' to share with everyone! The calendar is categorized timing, regions, and levels. Level 1 mushrooms with NO toxic or poisonous look-alikes in Texas and LEVEL 2, mushrooms WITH toxic or poisonous look-alikes in Texas. Let’s get out into the woods!
About the Instructor
I grew up in Missouri with ten siblings, and the first mushroom I ever learned was fittingly the Destroying Angel. It was my introduction to how powerful and mysterious fungi can be.
Before CTMS, I worked as an experience designer and animator in the tech world but eventually, I left that world to plug into a very different kind of network: the earth’s internet, mycelium. Now I’m a forager, urban gardener, and mycology educator.
Through CTMS, I get to share my passion for the ecosystems of Central Texas and help people connect to the fungal kingdom in ways that are joyful, practical, and community-powered. Whether we’re growing mushrooms from recycled blocks or helping trees survive drought through mycorrhizal fungi—we’re building soil and solidarity.
