K-State is holding an online class for anyone interested in harvesting and selling wild mushrooms.
The class will be put on in cooperation with the Kansas Department of Agriculture and will be focused on the wild morel mushroom. The classes are intended to help ensure that wild-harvested mushrooms are safe to consume. Current Kansas Department of Agriculture regulations require mushrooms picked in the wild for sale must be inspected by a registered mushroom identifier. The upcoming classes will help participants become a registered identifier through an online exam. Two separate classes will be offered on March 15th from noon to 1 p.m. and March 16th from 6 to 7 p.m. The cost for the class is $5 and a link to register is available here.
