May 3rd 2024
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.

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.

May 24th 2025/The Mushrooms of Spring
15 tickets available.
The top photo is the underside of the beautiful Beech Rooter. The edible brown tan cap sits upon a
thin woody stem and when mature is easily spotted on the forest floor. Sometimes, right alongside, is the large Platterful wearing white
beautiful gills that drape down like curtains. Both of these mushrooms can appear throughout the season from early May to late October. And
of course there is the fabulous Morel. The highly sought after fungi makes only a brief appearance before retreating a few weeks later.
One more thing. As an added bonus everyone will receive mushrooms from our supplier, Fresh and Tasty Mushrooms.
