Wander through the woodland to a beautiful sheep meadow as you explore the delicious mushrooms on offer through foraging. This exciting class is only available for a brief time at the end of Autumn but yields a colourful mushroom bounty.

Guided by an expert forager, you will encounter and identify plenty of field mushroom species. There is a rainbow of goodies waiting to be found like waxcaps, parasols, horse mushrooms, blewits, spindles, cordyceps and more.

Each adventure through the ancient sheep meadow is unique and bears different colourful rewards each time. One thing you can count on is leaving with some edible delights to take home and turn into delicious mushroom meals.

The routes you will take are gentle and suitable for all ages and fitness levels. This foraging class can be tailored to your specific needs, so always feel free to contact your teacher with any concerns.

There are public dates for you to join so you can meet some fellow mushroom fans or your teacher can do a private class if you're planning a fun group activity for you and your pals. This can be done in the teacher's area or they can come forage with you near your local area.

Children and adults alike will love this exciting trip through nature as you are guaranteed to encounter some tasty and vivid edible mushrooms.

Up to two children 14 and under may attend for free with any paying parent/guardian!

I am passionate about all aspects of wild food: how it is sought and found, how it is harvested, processed and ultimately eaten and enjoyed! The delicious and nutritious bounties of the nature surrounding us daily, are astoundingly unknown and forgotten. I consider myself an ambassador of wild food, that is any edible which is occurring, growing or living in a natural state. Not domesticated, cultivated nor tamed.

Since childhood, I have been entranced and intrigued by the natural world. I have also always been greedy, my first word was “more”. My earliest memories either involve food or creatures, or both! Having developed my lifetime passion for nature into a career, I am now a forager, educator, purveyor, consultant and chef of wild food.

I forage daily, meaning I go out and search for all varieties of wild edibles, in the stunning county of Monmouthshire, South Wales, where I am based, and beyond. I would love to share my knowledge and appreciation of wild edibles with you, whether it be in the capacity of a foraging teacher on a guided excursion, or as a wild food chef and consultant or collaborator.
