Edible Mushrooms of Margaret River: A Practical Foraging Workshop

FULL-DAY Workshop | 6 Hours | Adults Only
Pine & Natural Forests | Meeting Point: Rotary Park, Margaret River

Step off the beaten track and into a world of wonder…

Let me take you on a magical journey through the forests of Margaret River for a full-day, hands-on Foraging Workshop. This is your invitation to reconnect with nature, awaken your senses, and experience the thrill of discovering wild mushrooms and edible weeds where they grow — in pine forests, native bushland, and mossy groves.

🍄 You’re going to see SO many mushrooms! From delicate edibles to bold, strange, and otherworldly fungi — the forest will be alive with colour, scent, and surprises.

🌿 Along the way, you’ll also meet a range of edible and medicinal wild weeds that most people overlook. These resilient plants have nourished and healed humans for generations — and they’re right under our feet.

✨ What to expect:

• A slow, sensory-rich walk through forest and bush

• Learn how to identify edible & medicinal mushrooms and wild weeds

• Deepen your understanding of safe, respectful foraging practices

• Discover the risks of foraging and how to avoid them

• Enjoy the company of like-minded nature-lovers on a shared forest adventure

• Enjoy a mouth-watering mushroomy lunch and homemade treats

• Self-drive (you’ll follow in your vehicle — perfect for exploring multiple spots!)

🧺 What to bring:

• Warm, waterproof clothing — the forest doesn’t mind the weather, and neither do we

• Sturdy hiking boots or gumboots

• Long pants to protect from scratches and insects

• Water and snacks

• A wicker basket and a foraging knife

• Camera or phone for capturing your finds

• An outdoor chair for our shared lunch and chats in the forest

💚 Whether you're a curious beginner or a seasoned nature lover, this day in the forest will leave you inspired, grounded, and totally hooked on foraging.

Bring your boots, your basket, and your sense of wonder.
The forest is calling.
