Mobile ticket
Explore the world of edible wild mushrooms on this foraging 101 walking tour through British Columbia's rainforests. Your wildcraft, myco guide will teach you how to safely identify local wild mushrooms; delicacies like porcini, chanterelle and lobster mushrooms are just a few of the many edibles we may find. We'll showcase all fungi that we find on an easy stroll through the lush forest understory and discuss cooking, preservation techniques and harvesting stories.
Note that this isn't a harvesting trip, it's a class that teaches you how to find and safely identify edible wild mushrooms. We explore and examine wild mushrooms in situ as it's illegal to harvest in parks.
Please contact us prior to booking the class if you don't have a car as the tours that are accessible by public transit are scheduled in late October to December.
Please check your email the week before the class as the meeting point may change depending on where the mushrooms are popping up.

5.00Our host was amazing and knew so much! A great format... Mushroom/Mycelium 101 followed by a show and tell of several findable varieties. Then a great walk through the forest identifying several species. Fabulous! 2 days later I was mowing my backyard and was actually able to notice and confidently identify "puffball mushrooms" growing in the shadows. I would have run right over them otherwise. New appreciation for a woods walk and a vow to not just look ahead and up but down as well.
A great way to learn about the world of mushrooms available in North Vancouver

5.00Robin is a fantastic guide and she happily shows off her love of edible, and non-edible, mushrooms that are available in our local forests. She also prepared a lunch using some local wild mushrooms in a paté as well as some prepared pickles and salad. This is a must for anyone who wants to find out more about nature's bounty.
Informative and engaging
