Join a guided mushroom foraging tour with an experienced licenced forager for a great opportunity to learn how to find, pick and process wild edible mushrooms. We meet at Hampton beyond the Blue Mountains You will learn how to identify and collect edible mushrooms, then process them for us to cook a scrumptious lunch and see how to preserve the bounty. Your guide will teach you how to safely recognise and pick them, and will run a safety check of your basket. Also included in the ticket price are: fresh barbecue lunch mini-workshop on preserving mushrooms fact sheet recipes for preserving (children under 12 only $5 for lunch, paid in cash on the day) You will return home not only with what you found, but also with confidence to safely recognise two varieties of wild edible mushrooms and knowledge about how to preserve them.
