About this Event
We will focus on the wild plants, edible fungi and their look-a-likes that grow in the early winter. Ambling through the trees and along the Almond we will explore how to make wild food a staple and the benefits of doing so - from the nutritional to the medicinal, cultural and philosophical. We will look at late season nuts and seeds as well as winter greens, wild spices and fungi. As well as winter edibles including jelly ears and velvet shanks, we will discuss at medicinal fungi such as turkey tail, and how to use as a home remedy. Throughout the morning gather the basic skills required to identify common edibles as well as how to avoid poisonous & inedible lookalikes. We will look at how to store and use these ingredients, as well as how to do so sustainably.
