John Wheeler
Founder of The Berkshire Mycological Society
Berkshire native and founder of the Berkshire Mycological Society, John Wheeler has been foraging mushrooms for 30+ years. You can find him leading walks and teaching at Berkshire Botanical Garden, TurnPark, Dry Hill, Mount Everett, and many other special spots only the real mushroom experts know. With every walk, there’s the possibility that he might add to the count of mushroom species he’s found in the Berkshires as a mushroom hunter: 1,100 to date.
