One of the first edible mushrooms to appear in the Spring is the
Pheasant Back, also known as Dryad's Saddle. Harvested when young, their taste resembles a mild, sweet cucumber. These fungi
can be eaten raw or sauteed. Moreover, they can be dried and round into a powder for spicy seasoning. Along with these enticing fungi we will be harvesting wild leeks, trout lily leaves, garlic mustard,
and more.
Here's a couple of reviews from Yelp that might prove helpful.
We're hoping to see you on the trails.

Take a look at that colour. A rich, vibrant green that only Mother Nature can create. Let's face it, what you find in grocery produce sections come nowhere close to this. That difference translates into taste. There is a field of these gems only 15 minutes from Stratford. Along with Fiddleheads we will also be foraging for Nettles, Marsh Marigolds, Day Lily Shoots, Sochan, Burdock Root as well as Pheasant Back Mushrooms.

Another early Spring mushroom is the Platterful. It is found on rotting hardwood in shady areas of the forest. The Platterful can grow quite large
and is recognized by its beautiful gills that descend like white delicate curtains. Its stem is also unique as it has the texture of stringy cheese. These mushrooms share their habitat with the likes
of Pheasant Back mushrooms, Wild Leeks, Plantain and Burdock Root. Our second trail will feature Fiddleheads, Nettles and Marsh Marigolds.

Growing alongside the Platterful Mushroom is the Beech Rooter, a very distinctive and easily identified fungi that is also quite tasty. As its name implies the Beech Rooter can be found under Beech trees. It
has a long narrow stem that is woody in texture. By contrast, the cap is quite tender, tan to brown with white gills. What is unique about this mushroom is the plant-like bulb with extended roots.
In our opinion the cap rates as "choice" for taste and is a terrific find for any mushroom hunter. Along with the Beech Rooter and Platterful we will also be hunting for Fawn and Pheasant Back mushrooms
as well as Wild Leek Bulbs, Day Lily Shoots, Plantain, Burdock Root and Wild Watercress.
