Have you been noticing spring edibles? Maybe garlic mustard, ramps, or even morels if you’ve been lucky? Join us in Pine Hill this Saturday evening to forage for spring edibles at the Catskill Fungi Mural and then head to renowned restaurant Peekamoose for a foraged feast!

While at the mural we will walk the property to learn about different plants and fungi we find and spend time harvesting knotweed, dandelion, and possibly some other wild foods for dinner. As we forage, we will talk about the culinary and medicinal properties of each plant and mushroom, as well as cooking and preservation techniques. We may travel down the road to find some patches of other wild edibles to forage and collect.

We will arrive at the Peekamoose restaurant (3/4 mile down the road) where we will be greeted with a foraged cocktail/mocktail and gather in the dining room.  Owner Marybeth Mills will introduce this award-winning restaurant as well as the delicious three-course foraged dishes prepared by her amazing chefs, before we say “cheers!” and dine on the delicious plants and fungi similar to what we harvested.

The ticket includes a foraging walk, welcome cocktail, and three-course dinner.

See you there!!

We are excited to announce the New York Botanical Garden Mushroom Identification Flashcards!

This compact, colorful, and informative flashcard deck makes a great companion for newly minted mushroom lovers and veteran foragers alike. Catskill Fungi Founder John Michelotti worked with Penguin Random House to select these 100 common mushrooms, which were matched with the illustrated plates in the renowned archives of the New York Botanical Garden . John also edited the selected text chosen from the Audubon Society Field Guide to North American Mushrooms, originally written by John’s mentor, the inimitable Gary Lincoff.

Can you tell a Morel from an Inky Cap, or a Puffball from a Lion’s Mane? If you, like millions of others, are mushroom-curious, these flashcards will be your perfect knowledge builder and outdoor companion. This hand-selected collection of cards also celebrates the artistic detail of the original NYBG illustrated plates. On each card you’ll find:

• a detailed illustration of a common North American mushroom
• key identifiers, such as the mushroom’s gills, spores, stipe, and cap
• the mushroom’s popular and Latin name
• information on size, color, spore print, season, habitat, and range drawn from The National Audubon Society Field Guide to North American Mushrooms by Gary Lincoff and the recently published National Audubon Society Mushrooms of North America.

Catskill Fungi is selling this deck at Farmers Markets and events, so be sure to come on a walk or visit us at markets this year!
