Meet Your Guides!

Seabrook has partnered with Michael, Pacific Northwest foraging pro and founder of Wild Spores & More, to offer guided mushroom foraging in and around Seabrook this Fall with his friend and fellow guide, Dan, owner of Conscious Collectors Cooperative. Some people may remember seeing Michael as a merchant at the Seabrook Saturday Markets, too.

Michael has been on the hunt for mushrooms throughout the Pacific Northwest since 2012. With Michael as your field guide, you’ll receive a fun and educational orientation on mushroom foraging before venturing through the beautiful forests of Seabrook in search of a variety of mushrooms. Hello, golden-brown chanterelles!

Dan grew up in the Puget Sound and has been an avid outdoorsmen throughout his life. After a few serious skateboarding injuries, he transitioned his hobby into the less risky activity of mushroom foraging, along with gaining interest in other plants, trees, and other forest ecology. Almost a decade later into his journey of exploring fungi and forestry, Dan enjoys sharing and inspiring others with what he has learned. Check out more of Dan’s insight into the world of fungi on his Instagram, @dparnooch and @consciouscollectorscooperative.

Bringing Back Your Bounty

The amount of mushrooms available to be harvested is not predictable, though the guides expect there should be plenty to go around!

If not, the guides provide a takeaway bag per participant to ensure there are delicious items to use.

A Family-friendly Outing

Participants are recommended to be at least 7-years-old, though children of younger ages are welcome to attend at their parent’s discretion. All children must be accompanied by an adult.

Get To Know Seabrook’s Trails

Participants meet in town and then head into Seabrook’s expansive trail system — let the hunt begin! Attendees will receive an email with the meeting location two days prior to the event.

It’s An All-Weather Deal

Barring dangerous conditions, mushroom gathering is a go! Make sure to wear layers and bring along rain resistant clothing if it’s a rainy day out.
