Eat the Woods Mushroom Hike: Mathiessen State Park, Oglesby IL

  • Starved Rock State Park: Parkman's Plain Parking Area 1031 Hiawatha Pioneer Trail Ottawa, IL, 61350 United States (map)

Join Chicagoland's only full time professional forager Dave Odd for a walk around Mathiesson State Park in Oglesby IL, to see all the wild and wonderful edible plants and mushrooms that thrive there. Guaranteed to learn about at least 50 edible plants/mushrooms! We'll meet some cool critters along the way too.

Being a state park you can actually keep the mushrooms you find.

Just realized the main entrance is closed for repairs so we will meet here instead. Right at the picnic tables at this pin.

We will be hiking a few miles throughout the day so bring appropriate shoes, gear, etc and pack a lunch/snacks.

$50 a person, $90 a pair, group rates available.
