Start your day with a forage through 42 Acres’ on-site woodland and learn to identify various fungi while learning about their medicinal properties. After a tasty lunch from their ‘Soil to Gut’ menu you’ll explore ways to preserve mushrooms and master the basics of drying, During this full-day workshop, you’ll discover native, wild, medicinal mushrooms growing at 42 Acres and in the local South West area.
In the afternoon you will be creating your own wild mushroom ‘medicine cabinet.’ You will learn how to safely preserve your mushrooms and extract their medicine for use all year round, in yours and your loved ones lives - for a host of illness and preventative uses. This medicine is often very expensive and our shared vision is to support you to be able to do it yourself safely. Our intention is for you to feel empowered to harvest your own mushroom medicine cabinet and grow your own medicinal mushrooms.
You will also learn the ancient technique of mushroom inoculation - a highly sustainable method that mimics nature and produces mushrooms dense in nutrients that are hard to find from other food sources. Take home your own inoculated log - where it will fruit in your garden for years to come.
