I regularly pass on my knowledge of edible wild mushrooms at certain times of the year when the woods are abundant with fungus. This is usually in late April/early May and in the autumn - but I am also keeping these events all through the year, (apart from festival time). Though wild food might be in short supply at some times, people are always guaranteed an interesting walk with good food and wine afterwards!

The prices for this day are £15 per head and £5 for under 18's. From September 1st 2008 the price will be £20 per head and £10 for under 18's.

Walks in the woods last for about two hours and all the good edible mushrooms are collected.

Less desirable mushrooms are identified and discussed.

The group, of ideally 12-15 people, then head for my kitchen (or back garden on a good day) to sort through and prepare the harvest which is then eaten with other dishes and liberal quantities of wine from my cellar.

See the broadcast page for clips of radio and video regarding my mushroom walks.
