Wild Edible Mushroom Forage Photos

This morning a group of us went on a Wild Edible Mushroom Forage in Sidmouth. Unfortunately due to the dry, hot weather conditions recently (which mushrooms don’t like) we didn’t find that many edible mushrooms, mainly Porcelain Fungus and Winter Chanterrelles. But a good time was had by all and everyone learned lots.

As with anything in Nature, there are no guarantees. But even in a dry period there is so much to learn about the edible landscape, both what you can and cannot eat.
