Gil Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 Hi all, I know it's the wrong time of year, but before you know it spring will be here! Anybody in this area forage for wild mushrooms? I have been learning about them and have had limited success! Would like to get together with like minded people in the niagara area and learn a few things! I have found lots of puffballs, morels and oyster mushrooms in the area and want more!(YUMMY!) anybody interested! Gil Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Andrews Posted December 18, 2007 Report Share Posted December 18, 2007 Yes! Actually this is one of my biggest ambitions in life right now. Sustainability. I would like to get some kids involved in learning how to naturally survive in the wild on things like mushroom and edible plants and berries. Give me a call Gil PM coming Dan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest canadadude Posted December 19, 2007 Report Share Posted December 19, 2007 I pick wild mushroom in the fall, kinda of ukranian tradition passed down to me, the very dry fall and summer this past year however left me pretty much empty handed!! I have been out for morels in the spring but not locally would be very interested in getting together for a mushroom hunt with anyone interested Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gerry Posted September 12, 2019 Report Share Posted September 12, 2019 I am from Niagara region myself and love to forage. Fall time is the best time to forage and am wondering if there is anyone out there who wants to team up in the near future.. Message me If you are interested or if you know about any mushroom groups in this region. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
