Saturday day trip from Athens to the forests of Dirfys and Xerovouni in Evia, looking for wild mushrooms with experienced collectors: how to identify, pick and sort them and the basic rules of safe foraging (a wild mushroom is never eaten unless it is identified with certainty as edible). Two route options: an easy one of about 4 km or a longer one of about 8 km; grade 1/5, family-friendly, with stops to search for mushrooms. After the hike the group meets for identification, stories and a picnic (bring your own food), with a wild mushroom risotto cooked by Christos, and visits the Dirfys Mushrooms shop. Departures from Athens: Rouf 07:30 (corner of Amfipoleos and Konstantinoupoleos, opposite the suburban railway), Elaionas 07:45 (on Iera Odos), Kifisia 08:00 (Ilision St, opposite Karras parquet); back in Athens before 21:00. €50 per person, €10 less with your own car; €25 deposit.
