Since the early days of the Mushroom Society of Utah, members have gathered at the peak of our fall season for the weekend-long campout event that we call the Fall Foray.
​
The event consists of lectures, workshops, demonstrations, and of course, forays!
​
Come meet the membership, gain knowledge from the community, and forage for and eat the mushrooms that our beautiful fall season has to offer!
2024 DETAILS ​
WHEN: August 23–25th (Fri-Sun).​
​
WHERE: Francis Town Hall (2317 Spring Hollow Rd, Kamas, UT 84036).​​
We'll have a banner up so you can spot us! A nearby field will be rented for tents & trailers alike if you ​would like to camp nearby with the group (1914 South State Road 32 Francis, UT). BLM land is also available for camping up the canyon, and there are of course many RV and campgrounds further up Mirror Lake Highway—just make sure to get a recreation pass from the nearby ranger's station.
​
WHO: Mushroom Society of Utah member households only. We do not allow guests at the Fall Foray since it is our highest-cost event of the year. If you're not yet a member, join the society before coming to the event—it's still worth it, even late in the year! Kids and dogs are welcome!
​
HOW: There is no need to register for the event as a whole. Just show up, sign in, and have fun! Lectures are open attendance, but forays and workshops do require you to sign up. Sign-ups will be done in-person, in the town hall, on Saturday morning. (Don't worry, there will be room for every attendee to join a foray—we just need to spread out.)
COST: Admission to the event is included in your membership. To help cover expenses, we will be holding a silent auction at the event. We'll have exciting items to bid on from local and national businesses, artists, and authors, as well as contributions from within the MSU community. If you would like to contribute an item to the auction (e.g. a gift basket, your art, or perhaps something from your local business), please email aimee@utahmushrooms.org.
​​
PREPARATION DETAILS:
-
We will have potlucks for dinner and coffee and light bites for breakfast, but you will need to bring/prepare for your own lunch and snacks (there are some restaurants along Main Street that you can visit). We appreciate if you can plan to bring a dish one or both of the potlucks; mushrooms are of course encouraged, but not required!
-
Make sure your car is prepared to head up the canyon. We highly encourage carpooling up to the forays if you are able/comfortable to accommodate others in your vehicle.
-
Pack wisely! Here is our recommended packing list:​​
