“Foraging Fantastic, Delicious, Deadly, and Glowing Mushrooms” to be Topic of November 12 Garden Club Program in Woodbury
The Pomperaug Valley Garden Club is pleased to present “Foraging Fantastic, Delicious, Deadly, and Glowing Mushrooms” by Karen Monger of the 3 Foragers on Tuesday, November 12, 2024. The program will begin at 11 am at the Woodbury Firehouse, 25 Quassuk Road, Woodbury. Members of the public are welcome to attend for a $5 donation.
The 3 Foragers are a family from southeastern Connecticut who have been identifying, photographing, and cooking with the edible plants and fungi of New England for more than 19 years. Their blog, Facebook page, and book all focus on family-friendly, environmentally sustainable harvest of both our native and invasive species of plants, and ways to incorporate these foods into your diet with original recipes.
The program will explore the amazing world of fungi and how we can learn to appreciate them for their beauty and flavors. Using all original and award-winning photography, The 3 Foragers will take you on a visual journey of some of the mushrooms they have encountered in New England, showing their diversity in forms, shapes, and colors.
