Excellent
I recently had the pleasure of joining Ranger Darling on a Hikes of Georiga hike. From the moment we began, his passion for mushrooms was so infectious. Not only did he share his extensive knowledge about different mushroom species, but he also guided us through the process of identifying and foraging them ourselves.

Highly Recommended
It was great! We were very lucky with the weather, got some good steps in without being strenuous and learned a lot about fungi. I was surprised by the variety of what we found. I would love to do it again, and will keep an eye out for Hikes Of Georgia encroaching on other nature centers.

Outstanding client feedback
Darling is kind and patient and took the time to answer all our questions, ensuring everyone felt comfortable and empowered throughout the hike. I walked away not only with a newfound appreciation for mushrooms but also with practical skills I can use in future foraging adventures. If you’re looking for a fun, educational outing, I highly recommend joining one of Darling’s hikes. It’s a unique experience that will deepen your connection to nature and learn about the magic of mushrooms!
