Embark on a unique culinary adventure with YEG Cooking Classes’ Food Tour: Mushroom Forage Walk. This immersive experience combines the thrill of foraging with the art of cooking, offering participants a hands-on journey into the world of wild mushrooms.
Guided by Chef Antonio and Martin Osis from the Alberta Mycological Society, this event takes you through Edmonton’s scenic river valley, where you’ll learn to identify and harvest a variety of wild mushrooms. The walk is designed to educate participants on safe foraging practices and the ecological importance of mushrooms in the local environment.
After the foraging walk, the adventure continues back in the kitchen, where the freshly gathered mushrooms are transformed into a delicious dish.
