You will get an introduction to the basics of foraging, including safety, legality and sustainability. 

The walks usually consists of a light stroll, lasting approximately two hours and examining some of the plants and/or fungi we come across.

We will talk about methods of identification, edibility and other uses as well as some of the poisonous species to be aware of.

I take quite a relaxed and informal approach on my walks and am always excited to share my passion!

With the unpredictable British weather, it is important to be prepared, make sure you have suitable walking shoes/boots and waterproof clothing.

It’s a good idea to bring a camera and/or notepad and pen.

Bring a drink and snacks if you need them.

You are welcome to bring a basket or container if you are interested in taking a few specimens home to study.

There are always lot’s of interesting wild foods to find; Depending on the season, we will come across various edible plants, berries, nuts etc.

Fungi on the other hand, are rather less predictable, and while we will almost always find something interesting, there are no guarantees.
That’s part of the magic and mystery of Mushroom hunting, sometimes I can fill a basket with choice edibles on a twenty minute stroll and other times walk for hours only to return home empty handed!
