Edmondsham Fungi Foraging Walk October 18th

I'm a foraging teacher with a passion for wild food and drink. Each walk is unique, responding to the plants and fungi which are in season at the time.

“Here we go a-foraging, the harvest has arrived, berries, nuts, mushrooms and there's seeds to be dried"

We start and finish the walk from the grounds of Edmondsham House (more details below). We start with an introduction to the various types of fungi and how they grow, then discuss safe and sustainable foraging while sampling a cup of medicinal mushroom tea.

We'll explore Edmondsham Woods, stopping to identify and discuss the properties, history and folklore of the species we find along the way.

Please bring your own picnic lunch, which will be supplemented by wild-flavoured snacks and seasonal drinks along the way.

The walk will be at a gentle pace but terrain includes long grass and muddy footpaths. Children under 10 are free of charge and young people agead 10-18 are welcome at the concession rate.

I believe that fungi identification and foraging knowledge should be available to all regardless of their financial situtation, so the concession rate is also available for home educators, students and those on low income.
