Q&A

Q: Are there any age restrictions for this mushroom foraging workshop?

A: There aren't any specific age restrictions, but I'd recommend bringing kids aged 10 and older as they might find it more engaging and understand the concepts better. Younger kids might get bored during the presentation. Just check with Maya, the instructor, if you're unsure!

Q: What should I wear to the foraging workshop? Is it muddy?

A: Definitely wear comfortable shoes, preferably waterproof ones, since you might encounter some muddy spots. Dress in layers because it can get cooler in the woods. Also, a hat and sunscreen wouldn't hurt if it's sunny!

Q: Can I reschedule if something comes up?

A: Yes, you can reschedule! Just make sure to contact MycoPsychology Experiences at least 48 hours before your booked session. They’re pretty flexible with changing dates, and Maya is super accommodating.

Thinking about gifting the Mushroom Foraging Workshop in Santa Cruz!

I’m considering this workshop for my boyfriend since he’s into cooking and nature. It sounds like an awesome way to learn about mushrooms! Plus, it's free, which is a bonus. Anyone here tried it? What was your favorite part? I’m just a little worried about the weather since it’s outdoors.

Just did the Mushroom Foraging Workshop, and it was epic!

Wow, this workshop was such a wild experience! We started with a presentation by Maya, who is super knowledgeable. Then we hit the trails and found so many fungi. The best part was tasting some of the edible ones! Highly recommend if you’re into nature or cooking. I was surprised how much I learned about sustainability too!
