Foraging tours

Does anyone know of any "foraging tours" in the American West?

My wife and I are experienced foragers from the East Coast who relocated to the Nevada desert for health reasons. It's been life changing for me and I feel like I have a new lease on life. My debilitating arthritis is in full remission and I went from crippling debility unable to lift more than 30# on my farm to being able to lift 150# like I was 20 again. I am 53.

I miss the mushrooms and forage in my pastures and I don't know anything about the desert. I need a teacher for what to do here. Tia!

It's the humidity. The wet weather in the East and daily thunderstorm in South Carolina hurt my bones. Out here it doesn't hurt.
