Then, when the weather is just right, a silent spectacle that only comes once or twice a year, plays out across the forest floor: pop, pop, pop &#8211; the mushrooms appear.<\/p>\n<div class=\"rir-row\"><div class=\"rir-cols-2\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/test10.co.za\/C\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Delheim-Pop-Up-Mushroom-Forest-entry-4x6.jpg\" alt=\"Delheim Mushroom Forage\" width=\"400\" height=\"600\" \/><\/div><div class=\"rir-cols-2\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" src=\"https:\/\/test10.co.za\/C\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/01\/Delheim-Mushroom-Forager-4x6-1.jpg\" alt=\"Delheim Mushroom Forage\" width=\"400\" height=\"600\" \/><\/div><\/div>\n<h4>Forage with those in the know<\/h4>\n<p>Most people are hesitant about foraging for <a href=\"https:\/\/test10.co.za\/C\/guide-different-types-edible-mushrooms\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">mushrooms<\/a> because they don\u2019t know which are safe to eat. The Delheim Mushroom Forage Pop Up is the place to change all that.<\/p>\n<p>The arrival of the wild mushrooms is truly a special time because it\u2019s something Mother Nature does by herself &#8211; says Delheim matriarch and experienced mushroom forager Nora Sperling-Thiel.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;That\u2019s why we\u2019re especially sensitive about preserving our wild ecosystems on the estate.

Foragers will receive a short presentation about <a href=\"https:\/\/test10.co.za\/C\/delicious-mushroom-recipes-that-you-have-to-try\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">mushrooms<\/a> to look out for and which to avoid; the opportunity to accompany an expert guide on a first-of-the-season forage. There will be a mushroom cooking demonstration and a hearty, fungi-focused lunch with award-winning Delheim wine.<\/p>\n<p>The first pop up excursion, to take place in *March, April or May (depending on the arrival of the first rains), will comprise a group of only four lucky foragers &#8211; winners of a lucky draw of <a href=\"https:\/\/test10.co.za\/C\/celebrating-40-years-delheims-pinotage-rose\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Delheim Wine<\/a> Club members \u2013 who will get to take along their significant others.
