Please note: This is a introduction to wild mushroom foraging, we will not be harvesting mushrooms with our time, but fresh specimens will be brought to view, and potentially find some fungi in the field that we are at. As well Tom will be sharing his favourite recipes with you and how to introduce them to your kitchen.
Content is focused for the Pacific Northwest but some can relate to anywhere in the northern hemisphere. *Foraged snacks offered in the workshop.
