Melbourne Foraging Collective

Guided forays head into Victorian forest to hunt and identify wild fungi, pairing time on the ground with a grounding in what's edible, what's toxic and what's merely bewildering. The collective also keeps a running blog of seasonal finds, from porcini to the grey knight, that doubles as a field primer for walkers. Outings follow the cool-season mushroom flush rather than a fixed timetable, so dates track the weather and the flush across the ranges around Melbourne.
