Picking and Identifying Mushrooms with Janie Poitras
Immerse yourself in the fascinating world of Québec’s forest mushrooms in this theoretical and practical workshop. Specifically, you’ll learn the main precautionary principles and examine different types of mushrooms before exploring edible species of gastronomic interest in detail.
Next, you’ll head out to the forest with Janie Poitras. After an hour and a half of foraging, you’ll sort through your harvest according to the theory learned in the morning and identify the mushroom species you’ve found.
Janie Poitras from Connais ton bolet is fascinated by the fungal kingdom. For 10 years, she’s been perfecting her knowledge and sharing it through talks and workshops. She uses humour to make mycology accessible to anyone who’s interested.
