What better way to celebrate Canada Day and the country we call home?
Join us for The Depanneur’s first ever offsite foraging excursion! We’re taking the show on the road and bringing you directly to the source with an expert guide to educate us on the seasonal species of fungi available in our own backyard. We’ll respectfully take what we can from the land we all share and then return home to cook up our treasures!
Our expert guide, Danijela Pulcini from Puck’s Plenty, has been foraging wild mushrooms and plants her whole life, first in her native Serbia and since right here in Ontario. She will show us how to safely identify wild species and will discuss medicinal and culinary uses of what we find. For this time of year in, our chosen location, we will be looking primarily for Summer Oyster mushrooms, Turkey Tails, Angel Wings and perhaps some members of the Bolete family.
We will meet at 10am sharp (please do not be late) at the Barrie Community Sports Complex in Minesing, about 15 minutes North of Barrie. Once you pass the first gate, take the first right into the parking lot and we and Danijela will be waiting there. Once everyone has arrived we will head directly into the woods!
Recommended items to bring:
small knives
garden spade
basket or mesh bag
assorted bags (both paper and plastic)
water bottle
insect repellent
back pack
Participants should wear either running shoes or hiking boots as well as long pants. Note: dogs are welcome to join!
