August 5th
Staghorn Sumac
One of our favourite spices is za'atar, a Middle Eastern gem made of marjoram, oregano and sesame seeds. But the magic ingredient that sets this spice apart from
all the others is Sumac, adding a lemony flavor that goes "wild" in any recipe you may wish to enhance. Sumac also makes a wonderful tea and amazing syrup (imagine Maple Syrup with a citrus hint). The beautiful trees grow right across Canada delivering
their fruit to harvest throughout August and September. Along with Staghorn Sumac we will also be foraging for other Summer plants such as Wood Sorrel, Wild Watercress, Joe Pye and Pineapple Weed. Not to forget the mushrooms. Summer
Oysters, Boletes, Crown Tipped Coral and more.
Start time: 10:00 am
Where: Stratford area.
Cost: $35.00/person
August 6th
15 tickets available.
Angel Wings
These delicate fungi are a smaller version of the Summer Oyster and will appear on stumps and fallen branches of hardwood throughout the Summer and early Autumn.
They have a mild sweet taste and are best consumed when they are white. Angel Wings don't last long as they will begin to fade brown within a day or two. Still, they are a fine compliment to any meal. Sautee
very lightly for only a few minutes.
We will be out on the Avon Trail looking for these as well as Summer Oysters, Two Coloured Boletes, Gem Studded Puffballs, Wild Watercress, Wood Sorrel and more.
Start time: 10:00 am. Duration: approx. 3hrs
Where: Stratford area.
Cost: $35.00/person
August 12th Forage & Feast
Wild Mushroom Bolognese
3 tickets available.
Mid August features several types of Boletes including what some call The Wild Porcini. This family of mushrooms is quite easy to identify simply because it has no
gills. Instead there is a "spongy" substance that bruises olive to blue when touched. They are quite delicious especially when harvested young. These will be one of the many mushrooms we will forage for along with
Wild Leek Bulbs, Wood Sorrel and Watercress. After our foraging segment we return to Stratford where a four course meal
awaits us. Our opening course is homemade Hummus from Vincenzo's Grocery in
Kitchener, served
with sliced baguettes from the Downie Street Bakehouse followed by Wild Watercress Soup.
Our main course will be a Wild Mushroom Bolognese. Dessert: A light peach flan.
Locally brewed craft beers as well as red and white wines from Niagara are also included.
Start time: 9:45 am
Where: Packham Sports Complex
Cost: $90 per person.
Tickets can be purchased through e-transfer or PayPal. For more information phone
519-271-3726 or email us at pucksplenty@gmail.com
August 13th
SOLD OUT.
Chestnut Bolete
Along with the Chestnut Bolete we will also

Where: To be announced.
Cost: $35.00/person
August 19th
Giant Puffball Hunt at Bright, Ontario
15 tickets available.
Because of the demand we are scheduling a duplicate event for the Puffballs. We will be meeting at
the Chesney Wilderness Area then driving to a 100 acre parcel of Crown Land a few minutes away where we will search for Puffballs, Summer Oyster Mushrooms,
Turkey Tail Mushrooms, Wild Ginger and more.
Start time: 10:00 am
Where: Barrie, Ontario.
Cost: $35.00/person
Giant Puffball Hunt at Barrie
SOLD OUT.
One of the great celebrities of late Summer, the Giant Puffball demands attention if only for its size. So far our record find was an 18 pounder back in
2016. I don't think we can do much better than that. Outside of its dimensions the Puffball is also rated as "choice"
for taste the world round. They will be easy targets in the forest so why not
join us as we search for these along with Summer Oysters, Angel Wings, assorted Boletes, Wild Oregano and Wild Mint.
Start time: 10:00 am
Where: Barrie, Ontario.
Cost: $35.00/person
August 20th
8 tickets available.
Summer Oyster Mushrooms
This popular member of the Oyster Mushroom Family appears in late June where it continues to
grace hardwood forests right through until late October. Its fleshy texture and mildly sweet taste makes it the perfect article for any recipe calling for
mushrooms.
To be sure there are other fungi to be found. Assorted Boletes, Puffballs and more. Find out why
The Australian included Puck's Plenty in their article on wild food earlier last year.
Start time: 10:00 am
Where: Stratford area.
Cost: $35.00/person
August 26th
11 tickets available.
The Ghost Pipe
At first glance it appears to be an odd plant of some kind. It is!
An edible plant that has a similiar taste to asparagus. They can be found in hardwood forests in clusters. Sauteed gently, the Ghost
Pipe can be yet another delicious wild edible you can add to your menu.
Along with these, we will be searching the forest floors for
Giant Puffballs, Angel Wings, an assortment of Boletes as well as tantalizing plants including Wild Ginger, Wild Cicely and Wild Lemon Balm.
If you want wild, we've got it.
Start time: 10:00 am
Where: Cambridge area.
Cost: $35.00/person

featuring wild herbs.
Dessert: A light Peach Flan.
The meal includes a choice of red or white wines from Niagara as well as locally brewed craft beer.
It all begins Sunday morning, meeting at
the Chesney Wilderness Area 25 minutes from Stratford. From there we drive a short distance to a 100 acre parcel of Crown Land where we will
search for mushrooms such as Summer Oysters, Turkey Tails, Boletes and Angel Wings. Along the way we will collect Wild Ginger, Wood Sorrel and more. We then
