Edible Plant and Fungi Foraging Walk
Join us at the Pattaconk Reservoir on Saturday, October 3rd, at 10:00 am for a mushroom identification walk!
Are you mystified by wild mushrooms? Curious? Scared? Or do they make you hungry? What are those weird things that pop up in the woods after the rain?
Join The 3 Foragers as they share some of the secrets of the fungal world and teach you how to safely identify wild mushrooms using various available tools and techniques. You’ll learn how to use your senses to examine mushrooms for their sights, smells, and tastes and consider the relationships between fungi and the natural world around us. We will dispel common myths and discuss mycophagy, the cooking and eating of wild mushrooms.
The 3 Foragers are a family from southeastern Connecticut who have been identifying, photographing, and cooking with the edible plants and fungi of New England for more than 17 years. Their blog, Facebook page, and book all focus on family-friendly, environmentally sustainable harvest of both our native and invasive species of plants, and ways to incorporate these foods into your diet with original recipes.
NO DOGS, PLEASE – AS PER THE REQUEST OF THE INSTRUCTORS
It is your responsibility to correctly identify any mushrooms you decide to eat. Some mushrooms are extremely poisonous, and mistakes can have serious consequences. The Rockfall Foundation is not liable for any misuse or misidentification of mushrooms.
Registration is required for this event.Â

The Edible Plants and Fungi Seminar on October 1st is a separate event from this walk and requires its own registration. You may register for this Foraging Walk only ($15) or attend both events for a discounted rate of $25.
