Mushroom Foraging Workshops in Macedon

We meet in Macedon, then drive ourselves to the designated Foraging spot. The first 30 minutes or so, is to learn about the mushrooms. It’s then time to forage. Once collected, all mushrooms are checked and there’s discussion time with our lead mushroom guru. The group is kept small so you can have a personalised experience and one-on-one instruction and interaction, if desired.

Sat, 4 May 2024 1:30pm – 04:00pm•Foraging dates will be added as the weather allows

Foraging for mushrooms is weather dependent. If possible we will continue to add dates through the Autumn season. Please contact C the Market directly to request any specific date.
