Interested in learning more about the fungi around you here in Alaska? This limited-space workshop, led by expert mushroom hunter Professor Philippe Amstislavski will involve learning about local mushrooms, foraging practice, and a grill out with the fruits of your labor!

Please RSVP by emailing us at [email protected]. This helps us gauge how much food and beer to have on hand! This year, Midnight Sun Brewing Co., Zip Kombucha, and Indian Valley Meats have generously donated to help keep everyone fed and hydrated. Thank you to all of our supporters!
We are also looking for someone with a 4-wheeler or side-by-side to help out, so please contact us if you are willing to bring it down!

We will also have some Alaska Huts merch for sale, and the authors of the updated guidebook Alaska Adventure 55 Ways, John & Rebecca Wolfe, will be there to help promote the new book!
