What we learn about
Our focus is to deepen your understanding of the forest ecosystem, how intertwining layers of tree, soil, flora and fauna create a healthy foundation for fungi to grow.
We will provide guidance on sustainable foraging practises, and how to read the environment to find certain species of fungi.
We focus on edible and medicinal identification. By the end of the session you will have an idea of how to identifying and use a handful of species.
Example species are polypores, boletes, deceivers, hedgehog fungus, horn of plenty, amanita varieties, chantarelles, wood ears, beef steak fungus and other brackets.
