With nutritional and medicinal benefits as well as a rich folklore backstory, mushrooms are a fascinating member of our local wildlife and in this class, you can learn how to find and eat the best of the best.
Guided by an expert forager, you will journey through ancient woodland and meadows close to Chepstow. With your baskets at the ready, you'll be introduced to some of the UK's finest edible wild mushrooms. Learn how to spot, identify and harvest them safely, with some tastings in between.
This rich ground has a wide variety of treats, you may be surprised and what incredible flavours lie in your local area. From ceps (porcini), boletes, deceivers, oysters, chanterelles, waxcaps, field mushrooms, chicken of the woods and much more, there is a delicious bounty out there waiting to be found amongst the trees and grass.
The routes you will adventure through are gentle and suitable for all ages and fitness levels. Your teacher can also tailor this experience for your specific needs. Whether it's for a private group planning a special birthday party idea or you just have some queries on what will happen in the class, your teacher is happy to answer any questions.
Take a look around the Monmouthshire countryside, or your teacher can even arrange a foraging event in your area so you can pick mushrooms near your home.
You'll leave this foraging class with a whole range of mushrooms to take home to turn into delicious dinners, drinks and snacks. You'll also leave with loads of tips and tricks on how to find more mushrooms in the future.

Your teacher
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.
