We are excited to offer day trips to the Sierra Norte mushroom foraging and cooking with mushrooms with our local guide Lalo and his family. At 16 years old, Lalo already has 10 years of experience under his belt and will guide us through the woods teaching us about the local flora, fauna, and of course mushrooms.
