Last year's dinner table. 
The truffle risotto was a huge hit. Made with fresh Washington Cascade truffles. It was to die for! If you've never enjoyed truffle mushrooms, it's a must-do "bucket list" item.
Last year's main course selections were venison in a morel sauce, and a wild caught trout filet served on fried polenta with a wild mushroom ragout. It was amazing!
A wild green salad tossed in watercress Vinaigrette.
For dessert we enjoyed huckleberry shortcake.

  1. Things are behind schedule this Spring which is why the foray has been scheduled two weeks later than it was last year. Many wild edibles are now in bloom: nettles, watercress, sheep sorrel, spring beauty, arrowleaf, miner's lettuce, just to name a few. Wild oyster mushrooms are now fruiting and morels are next to come. Hope you can join us!

  2. This year's foray will be held at a NEW LOCATION. This location has MANY more edibles than last year's spot. You don't want to miss it!

  3. The foray has been rescheduled to May 18th due to a slow start to the morel season. The recent rains and cooler temps in the forecast will give us a MUCH better chance at lots of morels.
