Otis Library is hosting the program “Edible Wild Plants and Fungi of Autumn” with The 3 Foragers in the Community Room.  The 3 Foragers are a family from southeastern Connecticut who have been identifying, photographing, and cooking with the edible plants and fungi of New England for more than 17 years. 

Autumn is a time of bounty and harvest for woodland creatures and foragers alike: nuts are falling to the forest floor, fruits are ripening and scenting the crisp fall air, roots and tubers are thickening up in anticipation of sustaining the plants through the tough winter, and edible fungi can be found in astounding amounts. Learn how to identify, sustainably harvest, and prepare the wild foods of autumn, from acorns through minty wintergreen leaves, including golden honey mushrooms and maitake, the “dancing mushroom." Join The 3 Foragers as they teach the edible plants and fungi of autumn with their original photos and recipe ideas in an educational slideshow.

Seating is limited.  Free program; registration is required. Otis Library was designed to accommodate people of all abilities.  To request an accommodation, please contact Julie at jmenders@otislibrarynorwich.org.
