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. Your host will provide a thorough tutorial on the what, how, and 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!
