Great stuff, don't forget to report back to let us know how it was (be good too, incase anyone else searches for this in the future!)

just popping back in to report after the mushroom forage. Was really interesting and well worth the money/time spent. Jesper the expert was really interesting to talk to and holds a wealth of information. I found over a hundred shrooms, but about 80% were poisonous and 1 was the death cap :-/

If you fancy a nice long walk round silverdale on the NW coast, id def recommend it. Was a long day tho, over 5 hours walking followed by a tasting session in the local beer garden.

i'll be going on it next year!!!

In a word, no.

I'd love to gp on a 'fungi forage' with that chap on the Hugh Fearslessly-Eatsitall River Cottage telly programme.

In this area we have plenty of brambles for blackberries. We also have loads of damson trees in the hedgerows (damson gin being rather tasty). Up in the Weaver Hills there are bilberries (which blueberries are tending to replace).

That'd be John Wright. Here's his own web site: Welcome | Wild-Food
