Come take a walk on the wild side and join a foray! Foraging is a way to connect to nature and learn about the local ecology. There are two aspects to a foray: First, the scientific: identifying plants and fungi; and second, the culinary search for edible mushrooms, berries, nuts, and plants. Joe Brandt, President of Connecticut-Westchester Mycological Association, will be our guide into the world of foraging and sustainable harvesting. Wild chestnut trees can be found in the Groton area and mulberry trees in Stamford; mushrooms are everywhere, but which ones are edible?
