Wild Fungi – Foraging Secrets
Delivered by Mycobee Mushrooms
This introductory workshop invites you into the fascinating world of wild fungi—both edible and toxic—while uncovering the secrets to safe and responsible foraging. Along the way, you’ll explore the diverse uses of mushrooms and the wisdom they have carried through millennia, as well as the wellbeing benefits of connecting with nature through foraging. The session also includes an exhibition of dried and fresh mushroom species, and you may even have the chance to bring home a special mushroom gift!
