The
Great Mushroom Hunt
28 September 2008
This walk is an ideal opportunity to learn how to identify
many of our native and delicious funghi. You will learn how
to make a positive identification of the funghi we find and
we will discuss various ways of preparing and enjoying these
wild harvested foods. The walk will last approximately 3
hours and will be capped off with some wild food sampling.

book) unlocks the struggle over who controls our
food futures." Tim Lang, Professor of Food

Slow Food
Slow Food is a
non-profit, eco-gastronomic member-supported
organisation that was founded in 1989 to counteract
fast food and fast life, the disappearance of local
food traditions and people’s dwindling interest in
the food they eat, where it comes from, how it
tastes and how our food choices affect the rest of
the world.
Today, we have over 80,000
members all over the world.
