About this Workshop

This virtual mushroom forage will focus on how to SAFELY identify wild mushrooms found in the Pacific Northwest. This is our ever-popular “Wild Edible Identification Trip”, a 2-hour walk with wildcraft guide and chef Robin Kort made into a video series that you can refer to at your leisure. It’s like having a mushroom expert in your pocket. We’ll cover the wild and wonderful world of edible and poisonous mushrooms.

In addition to Robin’s original video content (which you’ll have access to for one year to watch and re-watch), Robin will host a 1 hr live Zoom Q&A session on November 5th, 6-7 pm.

About the Instructor

For the past 10 years, Chef Robin Kort has been teaching foraging programs from wild mushrooms to winter foraging classes in and around her hometown Vancouver, Canada. Her experience spans from being a commercial wild foods supplier for Vancouver’s high end restaurants to bringing agrologists and forestry students into the field for lectures on traditional food plants of BC. Robin is a native Vancouverite who grew up hiking the mountains and swimming the seas of the Pacific Northwest and would love to share her knowledge of her home with you.
