We have done events for up to 100 people. Depending on the type of event you’re interested in, we can figure out what will work best for your group’s size.

Customization Options

The world is our oyster! Here are just a few ideas to get you started.

  • Add a mobile cocktail cart to the event for extra adult hydration
  • Host it at a unique venue like a private home, yacht, or farmhouse
  • Menu substitutions and additional wine pairings
  • Floral arrangements and seating cards
  • Extended foraging time or specific kinds of mushrooms
  • Kid-friendly games to maximize engagement
Payment Terms

Self-booked private events are due in full at the time of booking online. Events that purchase cancelation insurance have up to 5 days prior to event date to make changes, otherwise they are non-refundable or changeable.

Customized events require a 50% deposit to secure the event. Final balance and headcount are due 14 days prior to the event date. Cancelation insurance is available and is highly recommended. A service fee of 20% is added to all customized private events, which includes gratuity for all staff operating the event.

How is This Experience Unique?
  • Designed for first-time foragers
  • Focused on edibility vs. non-edibility. Memorize scientific Latin names later!
  • Visit a convenient location within a 30-minute drive of downtown Seattle
  • Find tasty mushrooms most people have never even heard of (along with famous ones)
  • We pre-scout the location in advance to ensure we bring you to the best spots. No aimless wandering and wasted time!
  • In the rare event you don’t find many mushrooms on your own, we will still send you home with goodies to savor.
  • “OMG!” Kodak moments so you can share your epic hunt
What’s Included
  • All foraging-related supplies (basket, mushroom knife, nitrile gloves, reference book, and hand warmers)
  • Mushrooms to bring home >
What to Wear & Bring
  • Dress for the weather. We suggest a rain jacket, hat, gloves, and hiking boots (strongly recommended).
  • Bring a small backpack and water bottle.
Good to Know!
  • Leave Fido, cigarettes, drugs, and booze at home – they’re not invited to this shroom party!
  • Go before you go – there are no restrooms at the trailhead.
  • Mushrooms love rain, and we do too! Our tours operate light rain or shine.
  • Gratuities not required, but they sure do make our day!
Education vs. Mushroom Type/Quantity
  • Education is our first priority with this introductory experience. We’ll equip you with all the skills you need to start a new life-long hobby.
  • We’re not politicians, so we can’t guarantee when, where, or how many mushrooms you’ll find. But with a 95% success rate, we’re pretty darn good at stacking the deck in your favor.
  • Mushrooms come and go with the seasons, so the kinds you’ll find will depend on the time of year. Don’t worry – we’ll show you how to find the good stuff!
  • For a bigger haul or a specific type of mushroom, check out our specialized hunts.
Private Events/Groups
  • We can accommodate up to 8 guests. Book your private event directly now! [link “now” to the FareHarbor booking link – TBD hasn’t been created yet]
  • Interested in a different time slot or date? Have more than 8 guests? Contact us today to discuss your event. [link “contact us” to the Contact Us form page]
FAQs
What kind of mushrooms will I find?

It all depends on the season! Each mushroom has its own time to shine, so what you’ll find depends on when you visit.

What happens if I don’t find many mushrooms or ones that I like?

Unfortunately, we can’t control Mother Nature, so we aren’t able to offer refunds. In the rare event you don’t find many mushrooms, we’ll still make sure you leave with some goodies to enjoy at home. 

Cancellations
What is the cancellation policy?
  • We get it, life happens. We offer cancellation insurance for 10% of the ticket price at time of purchase.
What if it rains?

Tours operate rain or shine.

Miscellaneous
How physically demanding is this?

We won’t be scaling Mount Everest, but we will be hiking off-trail for up to a mile. Expect to crouch and stand for up to two hours. Dress comfortably and come prepared to have a blast!

Are restrooms available?

Restrooms are not always available. Most locations where the Seattle Mushroom Foraging 101 and Chef-Led Intro to Gourmet Mushroom Foraging + Cooking classes take place do have bathrooms or porta potties.

Make sure to take care of business beforehand and bring your own supplies if you need to use the “faciliatrees.” Remember to leave no trace…including TP!

Where do we meet?

Seattle Mushroom Foraging 101 and Chef-Led Intro to Gourmet Mushroom Foraging classes meet within a 40 minute drive of Seattle.

We scout locations in the days leading up to class and follow where the mushrooms go! The exact location will be sent to you via text message by 24 hours prior to the event date.

What if I don’t have a car?

Rideshare trips are typically between $65-$75 each way from downtown Seattle. You can save 75% by hopping on public transit to get you nearby. From there, catch an Uber or Lyft to/from the trailhead for about $15-$25.

Guest Testimonials

– Angela R.

I was skeptical that the premium price was worth it, but boy, was I wrong! Our guide must have had some kind of mushroom radar because we found a treasure trove of chanterelles in no time. Not only did we get some serious loot, but we also enjoyed a gourmet hot lunch in the middle of the woods. It was worth every penny and an adventure I won’t soon forget!
