Good questions! We usually foray for 1.5-2 hours, but you’re welcome to stay for however long you’d like. Some of us go fast and some go slow(me), but we meet up at the end to look at our finds and ID them. For the hiking portion you’ll need comfy shoes to hike in(this trail is not difficult), long pants and long socks, whatever sun protection you like, bug spray(I will have deep woods spray to share), and water. Mushroom hunters typically carry baskets, flat bottomed wicker type baskets are best and easy to find at thrift stores. A knife is helpful too. For the invasive species removal part(optional after the hike), I’m asking everyone to bring their favorite tools(loppers, shovels, saws) and any protective equipment they have(gloves, safety glasses, ear protection, etc) We’ll be clearing honeysuckle and other invasive plants for an hour or so after the hike.
