MAKE SURE YOU USE AN EMAIL ADDRESS THAT YOU CHECK REGULARLY WHEN BOOKING TICKETS!Autumn Foraging Walk at Reddisher Woods (Fungi & Forest Discovery)Reddisher Woods is a hidden gem for autumn foraging — a patchwork of mature woodland, open glades and moorland that create perfect conditions for a rich variety of fungi. This location offers a wonderful mix of species commonly found in old woodlands, including porcini, russulas, brittlegills, and some of the more "interesting" seasonal discoveries like waxcaps that tend to turn up on moorland habitats.This is a chance to slow down, tune in, and explore the subtle rhythms of the forest. We’ll learn to confidently identify a handful of common mushrooms, understand the ecological roles of fungi in woodland systems, and talk through key features that help with safe identification.We’ll also introduce some ideas from Embodied Foraging — a sensory approach to nature connection that invites you to notice how we move through the woods, what draws our attention, and how we build a relationship with place through more than just facts and species lists.Practical Info:This is a relaxed, slow-paced walk, covering around one to two miles depending on detours and discoveries. Some of the paths are uneven and some are steep with a bit of a climb, and if it’s wet, the ground can be muddy or slippery in places.Please wear sturdy footwear and bring waterproofs.We’ll pause somewhere scenic to eat, so bring a packed lunch and snacks. If we gather enough wild edibles we will head back for a shared tasting session at the end of the forage, a simple fry-up of mushrooms we’ve identified.What to Bring:Sturdy footwear (boots or wellies)WaterproofsPacked lunch and drinkBasket or field bag (optional)Knife, staff, and ID books if you have them (optional)Notebook if you like to take notesBooking & Refunds:No need to print your ticket — I’ll have your name on the list.Refunds: You can request a refund directly via Eventbrite up to 7 days before the event.If I can re-sell your ticket, I’m happy to refund up to the day before.Same-day cancellations usually can’t be refunded.Email contact: I’ll send all updates to the email you used for booking.If you prefer a different method of contact, message me on 07984 123891.Reddisher Woods offers a peaceful and varied woodland setting to build your foraging confidence, deepen your understanding of fungi, and enjoy an autumn day outdoors.All levels welcome — no prior experience needed.Looking forward to sharing the trail with you!Col & SadieForest Horizons
