We're pleased to announce this special mushroom foraging trip to the magical Forest of Dean!

UPDATE: We'll meet at Speech House Woodland carpark but will then drive a couple of minutes further down the road to another spot. Time change to 08:30 to give us time to do this.

Bring lunch and weโ€™ll eat at the end of the foray and cook up some of our mushroom finds for a tasting session in the woods :-)

Note: there's another mushroom forage on Saturday 7th October if you can't make this one.

Rich will be leading this foray and here are some of the highlights:

๐Ÿ”น A walk through ancient woodland in one of the UKs most biodiverse areas, discovering lots of edible and medicinal fungi, and how to identify them safely.

๐Ÿ”น Beginner friendly, also good for intermediate level foragers.

๐Ÿ”น Parking: Free, at Speech House Woodland car park: https://maps.app.goo.gl/YnGdWgj7uBxgTGD27

๐Ÿ”น Please dress for the weather, bring waterproofs and wear good walking boots/wellies if it's rainy.

๐Ÿ”น Bring lunch and any other food and drink to keep you going, and we recommend a small rucksack to stow things in.
