Private wild-food and mushroom tasting walks
Turn a small-group outing into a seasonal wild-food investigation.
Matt's Habitats
Matt offers private-group wild-food walks, including plant and mushroom identification and opportunities to sample wild edibles, often with foods prepared ahead of time. The current page describes a Wheaton hen-of-the-woods outing and allows private groups to request focused topics rather than a generic nature walk.

Edible mushroom finds and take-home collecting are not guaranteed; collecting depends on abundance and park rules. Confirm allergies, route, terrain and weather arrangements. Do not treat a short walk as sufficient training to identify food independently.
