Wild Mushroom Hunt

You are invited to come to the last wild edible mushroom hunt this Autumn! 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
