Morel Mushroom Identification certification training

K-State Research & Extension will provide morel mushroom identification training in an upcoming online training. This training
will help people earn the necessary approval to sell wild morel
mushrooms. The classes are intended to help ensure that wild
harvested mushrooms sold as morels in the state of Kansas are safe to
consume. Current regulations under the Kansas Department of
Agriculture’s food safety and lodging program require that mushrooms
picked in the wild for sale must be individually inspected for safety by
an approved mushroom identifier. Upon completion of this class,
participants will be recognized as approved morel identifiers in order
to meet this regulation. The zoom link for accessing the training
online will be sent the day before the training. The same training will
be offered two different times, so participants can select which time
works better for them.
