Mushroom Mountain ID Classes

Our classes meet the criteria required by Health Departments for training in identification, food safety, record keeping, and traceability.

Under pressure from the FDA and each state’s health department or regulatory agency, Mushroom Mountain was asked in 2013 to design a Wild Mushroom Identification and Food Safety Course to satisfy the needs of all food agencies. After one year of course design and speaking to regulatory agencies, the course was officially adopted in 2014 in the state of South Carolina.
