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.

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.

C the Market have run Foraging events in the Macedon region during the past 7 years. This is our third year teaming up with professional foragers, Richard Ford and his team at Australian Wild Herbs & Mushrooms to share with you an authentic Mushroom Foraging experience in the forests of Macedon.

These 2 – 2.5 hour educational focus workshops are hosted by professional Mushroom foragers and are in an easily accessible style so that we can all learn how to forage, where to forage and most importantly, the safest way to enjoy this uniquely Autumn activity. 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.

Please note these events are very similar to the past two years but a different style and format to our events in previous years. Price $89 per person.

ALL PARTICIPANTS AGREE TO HAVE ALL FORAGED MUSHROOMS CHECKED BY OUR ‘EXPERTS’ before removing from the plantations. We do not allow toxic mushrooms to be taken from the workshop.
