I saw this post on another forum and thought it might interest people here. It's probably wise to check the details yourself.

Nothing to do with me, but saw it advertised:

This is my local one, I have been out before with this guy and he knows his fungi. I didn't know is was at the nature reserve this year though, not the best place for it in the area me thinks, as being a nature reserve, not everywhere is accessable. There will probably be a lot of people there, and you all go off on your own and find what you can and bring it back for identification. I am at the reserve a lot (just got back from a meeting there funnily enough) and I have not seen any fly agarics or smelt any stinkhorns, but there are a lot of chicken of the woods there...........

Nice one, thinking of going to this one.

Might come in handy as I'm on a nushcraft course in the area the following week!
