This is primarily a self study course, though active assistance is provided for students enrolled at the Apprentice or Master Forager level. It is intended primarily to provide resources for the competent forager who needs certification. No online course is sufficient to take someone from an inexperienced identifier to reliably able to sell or serve wild mushrooms to others. A minimum of a full year of seasonal foraging and hands-on learning is required. This course includes access to nearly 2 gigabytes of reference material and an in depth certification test. Passing the test grants a certification sufficient for obtaining your legal wild mushroom sale tags in North Carolina. This course requires a minimum of one textbook purchase and two are recommended. The required textbook is A Field Guide to Mushrooms of the Carolinas. Mushrooms of the Southeastern United State is also recommended. Textbook purchases are separate from the cost of the course, which is $100. The course may be taken at your own pace and you may submit the test when you feel prepared to do so. As in real life, the mushroom identification test portion is open book and you may use any identification resources available to you, whether in textbooks or online.
