Mushroom Foraging Course - October
Nick of Grown Up Mushrooms will take you to the woods and fields of West Dorset for a 2.5 - 3 hour walk, chat, pick and all around educational experience about all things fungal! We'll show you how to safely and responsibly forage, highlight the role of fungi in the surrounding ecology and provide tips and rules of identification. We'll even chuck in some mushroom tea and some folklore to boot. Nick is a Member of the Association of Foragers and practises within their ethos and guidelines. We're not about stripping the forest, as that's not what we're about, but we promise a wealth of knowledge, lungfuls of fresh air and a great time had by all. All particpants will go home with some mushrooms, however, and some mushrooms goodies.

Trousers, waterproof clothing and sturdy footwear must be worn. Complete itinerary and details sent in lead up to event. Although GUM lead these events, your own safety is your own responsibility - NEVER put wild foods in your mouth without 100% positive identification. And watch your tootsies on the tree roots.
We hope you can join us to learn more about the food from the trees.
