Mushroom Hike For Two: We will teach you tricks for mushroom identification, explore what mushrooms can tell you about the environment, share some of the traditional uses of fungi, as well as some of the historical ways that people have derived nutrition and healing from fungi found in the woods. We will be meeting at Big Indian Park in Big Indian, NY and carpooling from there, a short distance, to the trailhead where we will begin our hike. 

Catskill Fungi is the permaculture-based venture of John Michelotti. We produce high quality triple-extracted mushroom health tinctures from mushrooms that have been wild-crafted or grown organically on our family farm. Our consulting branch incorporates edible and medicinal mushroom cultivation into residential landscape design. We enjoy sharing our love of mushrooms with the public on our guided mushroom walks, through cultivation workshops, and through our myco-art.

Catskill Fungi has its foundation in permaculture and keeps the principles and ethics of permaculture close to heart. We work to increase the public's knowledge of edible mushroom cultivation and to engage with our local community in a way that increases local food security and economic resilience.
