Mushroom foraging in Hamsterley Forest! Sample some wild flavours and wander through an ancient woodland in search of fungi!Hamsterley Forest is a forest with ancient parts that are rich in biodiversity and I am expecting to find some great mushroom species! The format of the day is simple. Meet and greet, sample some wild foraged treats, go for a mushroom hunt and finish with a fry up to taste our foraged treats. The plan is to take enough knowledge from the course to be able to confidently identify a few mushroom species on your own. I cannot say what species it will be, we will see what the forest is offering to us on the day.
The equipment you need is the same as going for a walk. Boots, waterproofs and some warm clothes. Your own foraging knife and basket for your mushrooms is a bonus, though this will be provided on the day. You will also be provided with a foraging staff that has a double purpose this year as a social distancing staff!
The terrain is and pace is easy going and the distance isn't great, but mushroom foragers do tend to stray off the path so expect to cross streams and scramble up bankings now and then. We will be out for around 4 hours, maybe longer.
LUNCH IS NOT PROVIDED - bring some lunch, you will need to keep your energy levels up
Lets go foraging :D
