2026 will be the 18th Annual Hiles Foray! July 16th to July 19th Thursday to Sunday *Day-passes available for 7/17 & 7/18* Registration is at the end of this page! Workshop sign up here (event registration required) Hiles: the “Mushroom Capital of Wisconsin!” This region features a diverse mix of trees, including beech, hemlock, spruce, tamarack, paperbark and gray birch, sugar maple, hop hornbeam and red oak, primarily, leading to a diverse mix of fungi. You can see just a fraction of what we found in 2022, in this iNaturalist project. The foray takes place in some of the most beautiful locations that the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest has to offer, as well as some select locations within the Pelican River Forest. The weekend of this foray marks the start of height of mushroom season in Wisconsin, where hundreds of species are growing, many in abundance. Hands-on fungi education with our foray leaders on the trail and back at our home base (Hiles Town Hall) takes place throughout this event and is an immersion in all things fungi. Whether you're a curious beginner, or coming in with a specific plan to engage in science, find community, or get into foraging and culinary delights, there is something at Hiles for you. Tickets are to the event itself; each attendee arranges their own lodging and food unless otherwise specified, as in the potluck we regularly have on Friday evening. Click here: for more information on lodging in and around Hiles, WI We have been so lucky to have a long-standing relationship to this community, including Mark and Julie Ferris, of Little Pine Motel and Trailhead Pub. Mark was there from the beginning of Hiles Foray. Mark Ferris and Britt Bunyard were the ones who got Hiles named the "Mushroom Capital of Wisconsin". We honor of Mark, who passed this year, and keep Julie, and their whole family and community, in our hearts. |
