Forage Series Class: The Mushroom Foray

October 29, 2016 @ 11:00 am - 3:00 pm

$40

The Mushroom Foray – October 29th : Possible projects include hops tincture (sleep aid), dandelion tonic or edible greens, lambs quarters greens, and the antioxidant-rich immunity booster, elderberry syrup.  If we are lucky, wild maitake (hen of the woods) or chicken of the woods mushrooms will be available to make a soup or stir-fry. (we will do one or two of these).  Ethical, forest-friendly harvesting methods will be discussed.

Come prepared for a fun walk in the woods to observe and forage for wild edible plants and possibly mushrooms, depending on what is available and in season.  We will prepare a shared dish or two featuring wild edibles and possibly a tincture made of wild-forged herbs.

This class is good for a newbie, but if you have them, bring your favorite manuals and books so that we can share our knowledge, experience, and favorite wild-foraged foods and medicines.  Bug spray, layered, protective clothing, and shoes or boots suitable for walking through the woods are recommended.

Facilitator:

Marie Erb-Crow has gathered and prepared wild edible plants and herbs since childhood.  For seven years she ran a landscape design company specializing in eco-friendly design and woodland property preservation.

A firm believer that food is medicine, she makes her own sleep aids and tonic tinctures and she harvests and prepares wild mushrooms and edible plants for her family.
