Wild Mushroom Foraging in the Blue Mountains

​

On Sunday, 10 April, 30 keen foragers made the journey to Hampton State Forest to forage wild Saffron Milk Caps & Slippery Jacks.

We first met at Millionth Acre Recreation Area for a meet-and-greet and quick debrief before venturing off into the forest. The foraging site was only a 3 minute drive away where we split into groups and spent about 2 hours on the hunt for mushrooms.

Unfortunately, our forage was not as plentiful as in previous years, but we found enough mushrooms for everyone to take home their bounty, and also serve a delicious lunch - a wild mushroom risotto. A few of us finished off the day with a well deserved coffee or tea at The Gingerbread House Katoomba.

Thank you to everyone who braved the journey with us today. We hope you had a wonderful day and look forward to seeing you all again!
