Mushroom foraging

once upon a time last year, i went to mushroom foraging workshop at penrose state forest and belanglo state forest with some friends. it was a fun little adventure hosted by diego bonetto, nice views and walk to the forests and you get to bring baskets of mushrooms home - as many as you can find and carry really.

we went around may last year so yes.. considering this is 2015 this is way overdue post. but better late than never right? 

one of the cute mushrooms we saw at first stop. poisonous, don't eat it.

diego explaining which mushrooms are poisonous, which are edible.

pine mushroom! this kind is what we're after.

sarah and daphne going colour coordinated.

they might not look pretty but they glow in the dark! not to be eaten.

jo on the hunt for shrooms.

look how much pine mushrooms this lady has gathered!

possibly the cutest i've seen during workshop. also poisonous!

another cute one, not to be eaten. anything that's cute and fairy tail like = poisonous.

delicious delicious pine mushrooms cooked for us at the end of workshop.

my basket and i. we ate pine mushrooms for about 3 days in a row i think.

there are a few more other photos on my flickr. you should book your tour or workshop with diego if you are keen, i highly recommend this. i might check what other workshops diego has for myself this year too.

2015, i've got a good feeling about you. i wish you all happy new year!
