Every year Amish Morrell and I host an informal mushroom foray in Big Intervale, Cape Breton for people in the nearby community. It works as a means for us to practice mushrooming, to know and learn more about the surrounding landscape, and is a way to bring various kinds of community members - locals and newcomers - with knowledge of place, of history, of foraging, art, geology, botany, mycology and more - together to share facts, ideas, skills and stories.
