Learn how to forage for mushrooms

Posted

PORT JERVIS, NY — Nathaniel Whitmore will present “Autumn Foraging for Mushrooms,” a part of the Backyard Series, at the Port Jervis Free Library on Thursday, September 18 from 6:30 to 8 p.m. The program will be held in the Community Room.

As a wild-foods enthusiast and quasi-vegetarian, Whitmore delights in variety. He derives almost all of his nutrition from plant sources, and he believes that his success in doing so is largely due to variety. There are many forms of plant life found in nature that can be eaten, including mushrooms. Whitmore said, “The various tastes, qualities, and energies found in a diet of diversity make for great health. It is important to eat a variety of fresh natural foods. Mushrooms are an important aspect of dietary diversity.”

He has experimented with shiitake cultivation for the last few years. This program will focus on mushrooms of fall. Bring your questions. Whitmore is available for private tours and for events. Contact information will be shared at the program.
