Today on the First 40 Miles, our family did something that exercised our risk muscle and prepared us for some interesting side trails on autumn and spring backpacking trips. We went mushroom hunting without someone holding our hand! Then we’ll review a sturdy piece of outdoor gear that will give you a place to organize mushrooms, do a little outdoor sketching and maybe some meal prep.

Today on the First 40 Miles, we went on our first mushroom hunt and lived to tell the tale! Today we’ll share the treasures we found in the forest and we’ll share what we learned. Then, our trip guide from the Oregon Mycological Society, Leah, tells her story of how she entered the world of mushrooms. And we have some fun audio from the mushroom identification session at the end of our hunt.
