In local Indiana forests and on private properties with permission. Meeting details are shared with registered guests.
Do I need experience?
Not at all. Walks welcome beginners while still offering depth for experienced naturalists and mushroom enthusiasts.

Closed-toe trail shoes, weather-ready layers, water, and curiosity. A notebook, hand lens, or camera is welcome.
