Michael Karns began foraging as a teenager after he and his family moved to forty wooded acres in north-central Arkansas. Since those humble beginnings collecting puffballs and wood ear, his passion for great food and a slightly obsessive compulsion for learning have led him to delve deeply into mycology and the delicious treasures the forest has to offer. Michael is a certified mycological identification expert in the area of food service and sourcing, a member of the North American Mycological Association (NAMA) and the Minnesota Mycological Society (MMS), and owner/proprietor of “Found Foods”—a purveyor of wild-sourced and artisan-created foods from across the region and around the world and host to classes and dining events. Through this pursuit Michael brings his knowledge, experience, and products to the novice and expert alike.
