The Alcona Conservation District will host a fall mushroom hunt from 10:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. today at a forest on Bischoff Road in Iosco County, near Tawas City.

Anderson Road is the nearby cross street. Once in the area, follow the signs.

Sister Marie Kopin, a mushroom specialist from the Michigan Mushroom Hunter’s Club, will be on hand to educate and identify collected mushrooms. During past fall hunts, more than 80 different varieties have been found, many of which are considered edible.

Dress for the weather. The hunt will take place rain or shine, but the sorting and identification of mushrooms will take place under a roofed pavilion. Portable toilets are on site. The event is free and family-friendly. More information can be found on the Alcona Conservation District website at alconaconservation.org or the Michigan Mushroom Hunter’s Club website at michiganmushroomhunters.org or by calling 989-724-5272.
