Course Description

Let's take a journey into the world of the fantastic fungus known as the morel mushroom. Once we lace up our hiking boots we will head into the deep woods of Northern Michigan to learn about this mushroom. Next, we will head on down to the festivities down at Boyne City's Morel Festival. Once we have become experts on the Morel we will create an ePub book of this elusive mushroom.

Read with an open mind, write from your heart...
