On April 28^th, Slow Food Shoreline and the Connecticut-Westchester Mycological Association will be coming together for a Wild Spring Edibles Walk at William E. Wolfe Park in Monroe. On this four hour walk, participants will learn to identify common wild edible plants and mushrooms of mid-spring. In the morning, we’ll be hunting for prized spring mushrooms such as Oysters, Chicken-of-the-Woods, Enokis, Wine-Cap Stropharias, and Morels. At noon, we’ll take a break to sample some of the wild foods collected by our guide throughout April. After lunch, we’ll focus on the wild edible plants available throughout the park. Participants will leave with a greater appreciation of the delicious and nutrient-rich flora growing all over the region this time of year.

The initial registration for this event is full, but you can still register for the Waitlist at Eventbrite. Individuals who are not able to obtain a ticket to this event will be given first priority for our next Wild Edibles Walk.
