What We Do

Four ways to get closer to wild fungi

Guided Morel Hunts

Small-group forays into Wisconsin's best morel terrain. 2-3 hours in the field with an experienced guide who knows every dead elm and ash stand in the county.

Identification Classes

Learn to tell a true morel from a false one, spot oysters on a log, and read the forest floor like a map. Indoor sessions plus field walks.

Local Foraging Maps

Seasonal digital maps highlighting productive terrain types, elevation profiles, and tree associations across southeastern Wisconsin's forests.

Dried Mushroom Sales

Wisconsin-foraged, DATCP-certified dried morels, chanterelles, and hen of the woods. Harvested responsibly, dried at peak flavor.

Built for Wisconsin's best foraging ground

The Kettle Moraine, the Driftless Region, and the forests between Milwaukee and Madison hold some of the richest morel habitat in the Midwest.

SporeScout operates where the mushrooms actually grow. No generic nature walks. No scripted routes. Every outing adapts to conditions, terrain, and what the forest is producing that week.

Are you out there?

SporeScout exists because the best mushrooms in Wisconsin aren't in grocery stores. They're under dead elms, along creek beds, and on hillsides most people walk right past.
