Are there any online foraging classes. I live in Grundy County Tn. And can’t afford to drive to Crossville Tn.
I am interested in learning more about foraging especially in East Tennessee. I would like to encourage anyone who forages frequently and has good knowledge to consider streaming their activity and teaching us using a streaming platform (i.e. Twitch or other platform). I think it would be a win for the person who does this and those who want to watch their content.
I’m in Cocke Co Tn and would like to know more about fungi foraging.
