Join us for a guided walk through a serene pine forest, where you’ll observe a variety of mushrooms and learn how to safely identify edible Saffron Milk Caps. Perfect for first time foragers, this hands on experience will teach you the basics of mushroom identification in a fun and relaxed setting.

Once we’ve met at Centennial Park for a quick introduction, we’ll travel to a nearby pine forest for our guided walk.

What to Bring:

🔪 A small, sharp knife
🦟 Insect repellent (optional)

What to Wear:

🥾 We recommend closed shoes with socks above the ankle—as some areas may have leeches

Important Notes:

🐾 Dogs: For the safety of your furry friends, we kindly ask that dogs do not accompany us. The presence of toxic mushrooms in the area can pose a risk to hungry pups. Service dogs, however, are always welcome.

👧 Children: Kids are welcome to join the fun! Please ensure they are closely supervised by an adult. While all mushrooms are safe to touch, they are not all safe to eat. Kids under 16 attend free of charge when accompanied by a parent or guardian. Parents/ guardians are responsible for their children throughout the event.

Accessibility Note:
The walk is conducted at a slow pace, but please note that the ground in the forest is uneven. Unfortunately, this particular location is not suitable for wheelchairs or walkers. However, if you use a walking stick, you might be able to manage comfortably.

If you are a wheelchair user or have a disability that might prevent you from joining this tour, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me directly. I’d be more than happy to organise a private foraging workshop in a more accessible location. Your participation is important to us, and we’re committed to making foraging inclusive for everyone!
