Mushroom Foraging Workshop - Southern Highlands
Tuesday 02 April 2024 to Sunday 02 June 2024 (MONTHLY event)
Overview
Join professional forager Diego Bonetto as he takes you and your family on a forest walk, uncovering the details of where to look, when to move and how to harvest edible mushrooms.
Part treasure hunt, part ecological awakening, this experience is like no other. The activity has been treasured for generations by the eastern European and Mediterranean cultures in Australia, making it a seasonal must-do to share stories and learn recipes.
Expect a cheerful trip, a learning experience, an outing in the magical pine forest, and take home all the mushrooms that you find.
The workshop is in Penrose State Forest. You host will provide a thorough tutorial on the what, how, where of mushroom foraging and visit two to three different locations. You will collect mushrooms and Diego will quality control everyone’s harvest.
Plenty of chances to take pictures and selfies in the forest while there will be a tasting of fresh mushrooms fried in oil with garlic and served with parsley on artisan sourdough.
Too many mushrooms to go home with? Diego will have plenty of boxes to bring home your harvest!
