Mushroom course with Jesper Launder

22 September 2013 09:30 - 22 September 2013 16:30

Ness Gardens on the Wirral is renowned for its dazzling displays of horticultural plants specimens and is a truly
beautiful location. However, for this event, the agenda is fungi, particularly of the edible kind. The grounds of Ness are rich with mature trees, grassland and managed floral beds - a surprisingly rich habitat for finding fungi - so
expect to find a wide array of poisonous, edible, and even incredible medicinal mushrooms. Last year's foray found in excess of thirty excellent edible species! The course will be introduced with some helpful theory and key pointers for aiding correct identification of mushrooms, before we head out for some serious foraging. There will be more of the same after lunch before we finally head back to class to assess our finds and enjoy the delights of freshly harvested wild mushrooms cooked in a variety of ways.

£45 per person, includes lunch.
