Whidbey Wild Mushroom Tours | Saturday’s October 11 thru December 13, 2025

Step into the pristine forests of beautiful Whidbey Island and uncover the fascinating fungi that thrive among us! Fall is the perfect season to forage a variety of gourmet and medicinal mushrooms, making it an ideal time for discovery and adventure.

Public Group Tours

at South Whidbey Tilth Farmers Market every Saturday between October 11th and December 13th. You can choose from two time slots: a morning session from 9:00am to 12:00pm or an afternoon session from 1:00pm to 4:00pm. I will hand out informational booklets to everybody that are yours to keep to help support and continue your learning. Then we will dive straight into a 30-45 minute information packed and illustrated presentation about mushrooms and foraging for mushrooms. Many mushrooms will be on display and labeled for your viewing and learning pleasure. After the discussion we will then drive in our own vehicles to our tour location not far away where I have previously scouted out to be sure the area is fruitful for us. From there we will venture into the forest to see what we can find and of course we will be chit chatting about everything mushrooms along the way and whatever else we all feel like talking about. Dogs are not allowed on public tours. If you’re coming from Seattle you’ll want to take the Mukilteo Ferry.
Public Group Tour (10 seats available per tour): $75 per person
