I know dangerously little about indentifying edible fungi (despite my Collins field guide!) and I'd like to learn more and reap the coming harvest - does anyone know of any upcoming fungi forays or similar in may area? (London/Herts/Essex)
Fungi Forays
- Thread starter weekend_warrior
- Start date
Yep. The 'Fungi to be with' group (part of the London Mycological soc.) is a group I go on forays with. Their next foray in S. London is on Wimbledon Common on Sunday October 9th.
Their website is HERE
Andy, who leads the walks, is an encyclopedia of fungi. You may also recognise him if you ever listened to new romantic bands in the eighties (I didn't and don't
)
His partner Yvette also comes on the walks and is excellent at pointing out herbs etc. and their uses.
If you look at their website they also do forays on Hampstead Heath and Epping Forest which may be nearer to you.

Are there any fungi forays in the North East? I've had a look on the linky provided but I can't see anything
Hi James, If you are going for a rummage around the woods at Ashridge sometime I'd love to meet up with you there if I may? I'm based in Milton Keynes so it's not too far to travel, and I'd love to learn about fungi hunting from someone who knows what's what on the matter.
If any forrays like this come up, it may be an idea to post a thread in the meetups and social chatter forum..... that should get some people there

That's a good idea, and especially if there are any in the north east! :borgsmileEd said:If any forrays like this come up, it may be an idea to post a thread in the meetups and social chatter forum..... that should get some people there
