Wild Forages PNW
We are proud to be Washington State’s first wild edible adventure company since 2018 formally known as PNW wild mushroom adventures.
At Wild Forages PNW we inspire people to explore and connect with nature through the art of foraging. Our guided adventures teach the skills to identify wild mushrooms and edible plants while fostering a deep respect for the environment, sustainability, and self-reliance. We are committed to building a knowledgable community that values the land, its resources, and the joy of discovering wild food.
Our mission is to teach the fundamentals of foraging, helping people connect with nature and confidently identify wild edible foods. We offer guided foraging adventures in the spring and fall, taking participants through diverse forest habitats to explore seasonal mushrooms and edible plants.
Our expert guides will teach you how to recognize the ideal growing conditions for various fungi and plants, including elevations, soil temperatures, and their symbiotic relationships with forest trees. Our adventures are more than just forages they are a wilderness survival experience. Guides are certified in survival skills, first aid and CPR, with over 20 years of combined experience. We are dedicated to providing a safe and informative adventure for all ages.
