Who would have thought wild mushrooms grow in abundance after a rain in the hillsides of mainland Mexico? Many places can be discovered in Guanajuato State and in the Sierra Santa Rosa region. Lucky for us we met a local mushroom forager, Arif Towns who sells his mushrooms at the local “Organic Sano Mercado” in San Miguel de Allende.
Join us for our magical Sunday Fun-day outdoor experiences above. We connected with nature, smelled the earth, felt the rain descending upon up while we hiked the mountains and shared special moments with others.We spent the day in the lush forested ecological reserve of the Sierra Santa Rosa, about 1 1/2 hours away from San Miguel de Allende, surrounded by rolling hills, forests, lakes and rivers. It’s in this epic setting that local mushroom forager Arif Towns from Simbiosis, holistic chef Alicia Rutherford and Kayaks SMA join forces to take curious mushroom foraging adventurers on an epicurean journey to unravel the rather marvelous mysteries of the local fungi.After an introduction to wild foraging and our shroom hunt, we took in delicious flavors and gathered our ingredients, set up our picnic next to the water, build a fire and prepared a feast with our foraged ingredients over botanical drinks and refreshing sangria, mezcal and red wines. But not before the sun broke out to warm and dry us as we enjoyed turns of kayaking and swimming in the lake.
What an enchanting day! Absolutely magical! Join on a tour from June through October, see below: https://web.facebook.com/events/722571601414940/?active_tab=about
