A Mushroom Foray and Feast will be led by mycologist Andrew Janjigian on the grounds of Aton Forest. This class will include classroom instruction, field work, and a wild mushroom tasting feast at the Aton Forest headquarters. If weather conditions continue normally and are not too dry, we are likely to see numerous species that appear in early autumn. The goal of this class is to identify safe and unsafe mushrooms, and to differentiate between them. In the event that there aren't many edible wild mushrooms to harvest that day, we will feast on pre-prepared (and possibly cultivated) wild mushrooms.
Instructor: Andrew Janjigian is a food writer for Cook's Illustrated magazine, and an author, chemist, and mycologist.
Date: Saturday, September 8 from 2:00 to 5:00 p.m.
Location: Aton Forest Headquarters, 270 North Colebrook Road, Norfolk, CT. For more information, call (860) 542-5125 or email contact@atonforest.org.
