California's wet winters bring out chanterelles, oyster mushrooms, hedgehogs, and many others. We walk, we find, we identify. You'll never look at a fallen log the same way.

Nick teaching two people about a mushroom

Hi, I'm Nick.

Scientist, engineer, and naturalist. I started leading tours because most people walk past a hundred edible plants every day and don't see them. Once you see one, you can't un-see it.

"I came for the chanterelles. I left noticing every single plant on the walk home."
