foraging

Hello everyone, I'm a new member, lover of the outdoors especially coastal forging! Nice to meet you all.

Hi All, Out and about on my travels in the woods, I have found loads of these lovely things. However, they are all either black or very very solid and dried out. Am I too late? Too early perhaps? Very new to mushrooms, but would love to get into at least knowing 1 or 2 of them and bieng able...

Hi all, First time poster and forager. I’d really love to make my own elderflower cordial this year but have no idea where to go foraging! I’d be really grateful if someone could recommend a good spot in Staffordshire. Thank-you in advance! Maria

Hi, It's the season for Marsh Samphire picking. I took a group out today and they loved it. Great fun had by all. If you are thinking of having a try, I have made a short vid on how to ID, collect and cook Marsh Samphire: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZTmh8JNgPlo

Having watched Bruce Parry's Tribes DVDs (yet again) I'm struck by how many people around the world have insects as a part of their foraged diet. Now I know this has been asked before, but which species of insect can I eat in the UK? Are there any that I should really avoid? I feel I should know...

Hey One and All, As always I hope my message finds you well? A little idea that I am trying to implement this year that will increase my knowledge of my local surrounding and hopefully it will inspire you to do the same. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TacLuRWI6Wg Would love to know...

I've had good feedback about the course I'm publishing on my blog (which is also available on Facebook) and so have published a summary. If you're following it, then I hope you've enjoyed it so far and if not, then I'm going to go over a few of the major points as we progress into summer...

Good Day Wild Food /Foraging Books Would someone be so kind as to point out or recommend some top books (pocket size would be amazing) with good illustration/photo quality. I’m really struggling in this area and there are so many books out there, my head is hurting with choice. I’m looking...

Recently was camping with the family in Cornwall and found a wonderfull Mussel bed (no out-lets near by!), some sanfire and wild Garlic- yum yum... if only White wine grew near the sea...... I had it drummed into me that you can't eat shelfish in a month without an 'r' in it. But also had a...

I found this in 'The Works' for £3.99 NEW. Nearly £7 on Amazon. Not affiliated etc etc. Just thought it's a bit of a bargain for anyone who hasnt already got it.

Really good day on the Edible seashore course with Robin Harford of www.Eatweeds.co.uk. The sun was shining which is always good on a days coastal foraging. We started off on the beach and a few quick pushes of the shrimp net I made the night before, found some nice shrimps. There is only one...
