Hen of the Woods
Hen of the Woods, also known as Maitake, is one of the largest wild edible mushrooms outside of the Giant Puffball. They can weigh up to several pounds and
are quite easy to identify, looking like a large mass of fused caribou antlers. Highly prized in both the Culinary and Medicinal communities. They can be grilled like a steak or chopped into
smaller pieces and added to pasta, soups, stews . . . OR . . . simply sautee them in garlic and butter. Hen of the Woods also contain chemicals that help fight tumors, stimulate the immune
system, and lower blood sugar levels.
We will be searching for these as well as Honey Mushrooms, Gem Studded Puffballs, Pear Shaped Puffballs and more.
As an added incentive, all participants will receive a large Hen of the Woods from Shogun Maitake.
Start time: 10:00 am. Duration: 2 1/2 to 3 hours.
Where: Bright, ON area.

Lepista Irina
One of our favourite mushrooms of Autumn. These beautiful mushrooms have a slight
sweetness to them. They are quite meaty meaning you can either sautee them or roast them. Found under conifer trees, these fungi
grow alongside their sister mushrooms, The Blewits. We will also be searching for other mushrooms such as Velvet Foots, Grey Trichs,
and Pear Shaped Puffballs.

adding them to dishes.

Imagine you are a novice mushroom hunter and come across a mushroom that is strikingly blue. The first thought that comes to mind: "Keep walking." Ah,
but that would be a mistake. For these radiant fungi are rated "choice" by National Audubon's Field Guide to Mushrooms. They are meaty, large and a plus to any meal. Thankfully we can find them right here
in Stratford, many a time growing alongside such wonderful edibles as the Lactarius Deliciosus and, later in the Autumn, the Lepista Irina and the Fawn mushroom.
After our local search we will move on to
trails only fiftenn minutes from town to collect Honey and Oyster Mushrooms along with wild edible plants and herbs.
