Indoor Slideshow -Lecture & Wild Mushroom Cooking Demo 

with The Mushroom Hunting Foundation

Saturday, August 31, 1pm – 3pm at the Hitchcock Center

Learn from Ryan Bouchard and Emily Schmidt, New England’s leading mushroom hunting teachers.  Using a slideshow of their own incredible all-local photography, Ryan and Emily will explain the basics of wild mushroom science and safety, and focus on the local summer species that are considered “safe for beginners” to cook with.  The discussions will be accompanied by an ongoing wild mushroom cooking demonstration, where you can experience some extraordinary flavors for yourself.  This class will show you inside a whole world of adventure that most people overlook.

If you can, it is recommended to also attend the outdoor guided walk (earlier on this same day), adding to this immersive experience
