The organizational team is ready to roll for 2026. Our two foray directors are creating a top-notch schedule for the event. Tri-County is an event focused on both mushrooms, and plants and foraging. There will be food demos, forays, workshops, and more. Two catered sit-down dinners, and a Wild Foods Potluck can never disappoint!

If this wasn't the best Tri-County Foray, then it was darned close! 2025 was excellent. Many mushroom species found, and so many things learned.
