Our 2.5 hour educational-focus workshops are led by professional Mushroom foragers. Using an easily accessible style, guests can learn how to forage, where to forage and most importantly, the safest way to enjoy this unique Autumn activity.
Our workshops are suitable for anyone interested to learn how to recognise and safely collect edible mushrooms and further their fungi knowledge. This event focuses on identifying and collecting edible pine mushrooms and slippery jacks.
Note: the workshops are aimed at Adults and depending on their interests, may not be suitable for children.

Pricing: $95 per person. Children’s pricing on request.
Group pricing is available.

The mushrooms we forage are reliant on specific weather conditions. We expect to go on sale with our Workshop dates from 1st February 2025. Once we know the weather and likelihood of mushrooms being found (by early April), we will list more workshop dates. Meanwhile we are offering for purchase GIFT CERTIFICATES for 2025 only.
These are fully refundable. Please refer to T’s & C’s on booking link

We recommend booking early, as workshops usually sell out.
Foraging dates are subject to change, and we will notify you if it is unlikely we will find mushrooms on your booked date, so you can request a refund or choose to transfer to another scheduled date. Change-of-mind refunds are not available.

ALL PARTICIPANTS AGREE TO HAVE ALL FORAGED MUSHROOMS CHECKED BY OUR WORKSHOP LEADERS. We do not allow toxic mushrooms to be taken from the workshop.

Please note: These events are a very different style and format to our events pre 2021.

VENUE:
Meeting Point: Smith St, Macedon.

More details and meeting instructions will be forwarded two weeks before your event.
