On October 29th, BCMF’s Conservation Department, alongside Foraging with You, was proud to host a Truffle Shuffle: Foraging with You in Chilliwack.

Participants ventured into the woods for an unforgettable mushroom foraging experience where they learned to identify a variety of fascinating mushrooms, from shaggy parasols and vibrant purples to medicinal species used in traditional healing, as well as delicious (and edible!) golden chanterelles. Guided by the expert hands of an experienced wild food forager, attendees gained insight into the rich diversity and importance of fungi in the ecosystem.

After the foraging adventure, everyone enjoyed fresh sourdough bread and warming rosemary tea, sharing stories and reflections on the morning. the adventure came to a close by offering herbs back to the forest as a gesture of gratitude. It was a day filled with learning, laughter, and a deep connection with nature – an experience that left everyone eager for more!
