If you’ve already dipped your toes into the world of mushrooms and are ready to level up, this advanced beginners' foraging class in West Sussex is perfect for you!
Let me guide you on a foraging walk and share my passion for and experience of mushrooms with you. I learnt from the best trained mushroom controllers in Switzerland and have over 45 years of foraging experience and am a member of the Association of Foragers and lots of 5-star Google reviews. 🌳🌿🌲
You’ll get the chance to expand your mushroom identification skills, learning to spot even more varieties in the wild. It’s the perfect way to add new finds to your growing foraging repertoire! I offer concessionary tickets for people on universal credit, or those who use food banks. Please contact me to arrange or if you have any other questions: adi@urbanmushrooms.co.uk.
You'll dive straight in and spend about three hours on a guided foraging walk.
You will learn:
- How to recognise different genera of mushrooms, their preferred habitats and tree partners
- How to identify (choice) edible mushrooms for advanced novice foragers
- Which mushrooms to avoid (as they could be poisonous)
- Foraging do’s and don’ts and laws
- Tips on picking and harvesting, cooking and preserving different wild mushrooms
Location and travel information
You'll meet your mushroom-expert host and fellow foragers in the middle of a well-established forest in West Sussex and explore the publicly accessible areas in a group of up to 13 people. Travel to the meeting point is by car or by train and cab and you can get there in just over an hour by car from South East London. You will receive with the invitation the exact location about one week before the walk. You can join a WhatsApp group to organise a car or taxi share. To keep on learning you can share photos, tips and questions after the walk.
Please note: I have learned over the years that there is no guarantee that we find (m)any mushrooms. I can promise you though that we will have fun day out.
What you'll get
- Guided foraging walk.
- Access to WhatsApp group and foraging community.
