Mushroom Class: This weekend!

[urbpan]

My second mushroom class at Drumlin Farm is this Saturday, in case anyone out there is interested!  There are still spaces available (the last one was "sold out" by this time).  It's a good way to spend a Saturday, and it's the best time of year to visit Drumlin Farm.  It's at its most picturesque, it's not too cold or too hot, not too mosquitoey, and there should be loads of pumpkins for sale.

I'd love to go to that. Sadly I'm a couple of thosand miles too far away. I don't even like cooked mushrooms (I do eat them raw) but I still love being able to find free food.

It must feel like a bit of a big responsbility though, making sure no one poisons themselves.

I'm pretty clear on my "don'ts" and I point out the many pitfalls. (One of the rules is "never eat wild mushrooms raw.)

Finding edibles isn't my personal goal with mushrooming, though. I do try to give the class the tools they need to make their own identifications.
