The locations in Missouri s Bootheel in which we have chosen to forage, are superb and diverse ecological habitats. Northern species mix with Southern, swamps with oak hickory forests. Julie Ridlon of Chanterelle Catering plans a French theme with dishes such as crepes, beignets, and chicken blanquette, many with wild, if not exotic, mushrooms. Many attendees will be staying at Camp Latonka in rustic screened-in cabins with sagging mattresses. If you want luxury, consider one of motels surrounding Lake Wappapello.
Attendance is limited.
Minors must be accompanied by a guardian. Deadline for registration is September 1.
