Anyone can legally sell morel mushrooms in the state of Iowa if they become certified. The three-hour certification class covers how to identify the difference between morels and false morels. This helps prevent people from being poisoned by eating mushrooms that aren’t safe and are misidentified as morels. The certification to sell lasts three years. The certification is open to people from out-of-state. The workshops will be held April 1st, 8th, and 15th at Iowa State University. For registration information click here.
