Wild Mushroom Hunt
June 8 @ 9:30 am - 2:30 pm
$95.00
You are invited to come to a wild edible mushroom hunt! It is late foraging season in cool climate pine forests around Sydney and the delicacies found there are highly prized by the best Australian chefs.
Joining a guided mushroom foraging tour with an experienced licenced forager is a great opportunity to learn how to find, pick and process wild edible mushrooms.
We meet at Lidsale Forest (near Lithgow, beyond the Blue Mountains) to go into a pine forest plantation to harvest precious nature’s gift – wild mushrooms..
You will learn how to identify and collect edible mushrooms, process them to cook a scrumptious lunch and see how to preserve the bounty. Your guide will teach you how to safely recognise and pick them, and will run a safety check of your basket.
Also included in the ticket price are:
>fresh barbecue lunch made from the day’s bounty
>mini-workshop on preserving mushrooms: a great opportunity to learn about cleaning, drying, pickling and fermenting
>fact sheet about the two species of mushrooms we will be looking for (emailed after you book your ticket)
>recipes for preserving mushrooms
