SUMMARY:Fall Culinary and Medicinal Mushrooms with Jess Starwood
DESCRIPTION:CANCELLED: Fall Culinary and Medicinal Mushrooms with Jess Starwood\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJUMP TO REGISTRATION\n\n\n\nCANCELLED: Due to a family emergency\, we must cancel this event. Please contact mailto:register@herbwalks.com to be added to a list to hear if we are able to reschedule it. \n\n\n\nSpecial guest author-forager-chef-mushroom expert Jess Starwood and I will begin this full day workshop on Sunday\, November 3\, with a foraging walk on the Ojai Meadows Preserve among the oaks\, sycamores\, and eucalyptus. This diverse Ojai habitat is home to several species of fungi and numerous edible and medicinal plants. We will be in search of Chicken of the Woods (Laetiporus gilbertsonii)\, a fall season delicacy\, for our afternoon snack. \n\n\n\nIn the photo montage above you can see a specimen I recently found on this same trail. Of course\, we can’t guarantee which mushrooms we’ll find on November 3 as that is unpredictable\, dependent on rainfall\, weather\, and other factors. If we don’t find it\, Jess will provide a substitute from her foraged pantry. We will discuss sustainable foraging and identify edible and medicinal plants and mushrooms that can help to nourish and heal us in the winter months to come. \n\n\n\nIn the afternoon\, we will gather in downtown Ojai for a wild mushroom cooking demonstration followed by a slideshow talk on medicinal mushrooms known for building immunity as we enter the cold and flu season. Jess has earned the Integrative Psilocybin Mushroom Specialist certification so she will also discuss psilocybin mushrooms (Psilocybe species)\, including instruction for how to grow them at home. Afterwards\, Jess and I will have our books on hand for sale and signing. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nABOUT JESS STARWOOD:Jess Starwood is an established author\, naturalist\, chef\, herbalist and educator.
