August 6th Forage & Feast
Wild Mushroom Bolognese
Wild Mushroom Bolognese
Early August offering feature 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 and amazing wild ginger. After our foraging segment we return to the
Stratford Tea Leaves where a four course meal
awaits us, served under banquet tents alongside a lovely lake. Truffle Gouda from Mountain Oak Cheese along with
baguettes from The Downie Street Bakehouse will be the opening fare followed by our popular Summer Sorrel and Potato Soup. Our main course will be a Wild Mushroom Bolognese followed
by fresh peach pies from The Black Angus Bakery. Locally brewed craft beers and wines from Niagara are also included.

15 tickets available.
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.

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

Giant Puffball Hunt at Hullett Marsh
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 in the wilderness of Hullett Marsh as we search for these along with Summer Oysters, Angel Wings, assorted Boletes, Wild Oregano and Wild Mint.
Start time: 10:30 am
Where: Clinton, Ontario N0M 1L0.
Cost: $35.00/person
August 21st

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.

The Indian Pipe
At first glance it appears to be an odd plant of some kind. But no. It is a mushroom.
An edible mushroom that has a similiar taste to asparagus. They can be found in hardwood forests in clusters. Sauteed gently, the Indian
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: 10:30 am

meatier texture similiar to a Button Mushroom. Rated as "choice", their taste has a sweetness to it that only adds to its culinary value. These mushrooms
begin to appear in mid-Summer and will continue through early November.
Late August is an ideal time to hunt for mushrooms such as the
Giant Puffball, several varieties of Boletes, Oyster Mushrooms, Crown Tipped Corals and more.
