Guided Mushroom Foraging Walk for Beginners - Early Season

Learn how to identify a handful of beginners’ mushrooms with like-minded people in a beautiful forest. After sell-out seasons in 2023 and 2024, I am excited to announce the first new dates for the upcoming mushroom hunting season. Let me guide you on a foraging walk and share my passion and experience for mushrooms with you. I learnt from the best trained mushroom controllers in Switzerland and have over 45 years of foraging experience. Now I would love to share this with you. 🌳🌿🌲These walks are designed for beginners but even if you're a seasoned forager, there's something magical about the shared excitement of discovering mushrooms together. 🍄✨ Following an introductory talk, we'll spend about 3 hours on a guided foraging walk. You will learn about: the relationship between mycorrhizal fungi and trees and their preferred habitats; identifying a handful of choice edible mushrooms for novice foragers and the poisonous ones to avoid; foraging do’s and don’ts and laws and; tips on picking and harvesting, cooking and preserving different wild mushrooms. We will meet in the middle of a well-established forest 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 about 1 1/4 hour by car from South East London. You will receive with the invitation with 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 come prepared. Wear walking boots or wellies (it might be wet and muddy), long sleeves and trousers (we might walk through brambles), waterproofs (it may well rain) and bring a basket, or cloth bag and a pocketknife and, if you have one, a mushroom guide book. 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 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. 🌟 Don’t just take my word, see what other people have said about these guided foraging walks.
