| Forays are a great learning experience for amateurs and professionals alike. These "hands-on" forays with "experts" are the best ways to learn how to identify fungi and to learn about the environs in which they grow. Please see our Foray Guidelines for information about our forays and how to collect mushrooms for identification. Also read the Heads Up near the bottom of this page.
All forays are held RAIN or SHINE! Please arrive by 10:00 AM for forays. If ever you have a doubt about whether a foray will take place, call the NJMA Events Hotline at 908-362-7109. NJMA forays are open to non-members as well as friends and families of members. If you are not a member of NJMA and wish to attend our forays, please be advised that insurance regulations prevent us from serving food to non-members. You can always join NJMA "on the spot" if you wish to partake in events where food is served. Click here for directions to foray locations.

HEADS UP! Many places we foray have fees in season, carry-out garbage policies, open picnic areas, poison ivy; stinging or biting insects, rain, or other potential inconveniences for the over-expectant Nature isn’t your mom. Indiscriminately, it drops trees, caves in, produces lightning, bears, and snakes, and turns from sunny to cold or from familiar to where the heck am I? Be prepared - but don’t forget to have a good day in the woods! |
