Upon our arrival at the Relish Culinary Center (after our foray described below), guests will participate in a hands-on activity to prepare, preserve and pickle clamshell mushrooms. We’ll get the preserving started then sit, relax and share a casual wild mushroom lunch with specially selected local wine. After lunch, we’ll finish our canning and each participant will take home a jar of preserved mushrooms with recipe.

• Vella Dry Jack & Porcini Cracker Bread
• Pasta with Wild Mushrooms and Winter Veggies
• Candy Cap Ice Cream
• Take-Home Jar of Preserved Clamshell Mushrooms

Each morning of the Wild Mushroom Weekend Relish leads wild mushroom forays from 9:00 – 11:30 am lead by chef Elissa Rubin-Mahon, past president and founding culinary chairperson of the Sonoma County Mycological Association. Elissa will teach guests about safely identifying, collecting, storing, preserving and cooking with local wild culinary mushrooms. We'll meet at a different Healdsburg-area private property each day where we will venture into the surrounding woodlands to foray under the watchful eye of Elissa. After our tromp in the woods, we will review our found fungi and then caravan back to the Relish Culinary Center where we’ll cook up anything edible we find at the different events specified below.

The cost of the foray is included in the cost of the event. Guests are welcome to attend additional forays (since we'll for foraging in different areas each day) for an additional charge of $35 per person.
