Edible Mushrooms (North Wales)

About this event

2026 - Sun 27th Sept, Sat 17th Oct, Weds 28th Oct A walk in the stunning Welsh landscape, this event will get you looking for some of the most wonderful wild edible mushrooms we have in this country, 4 types of Chanterelle, 2 types of Hedgehog, Porcini and many, many more it is one to attend if you have a passion for wild mushrooms. We will also encounter some very poisonous species, making this a great event to learn what not to pick as well as what to pick. The world of mushrooms and fungi can be a daunting one to the novice, filled with many species and look a likes. This one day workshops will help you to identify fungi with more confidence and understand the families of fungi and how to tell them apart from the edible Cep to the deadly Deadly Webcap. The walk will take in a variety of habitats from coniferous and decidous woodlands, to grassland and parkland as well as spending a bit of time walking along a beautiful river. This area of Wales is one of our favourites and we have spent many hours here searching for the amazing fungi it has to offer, there is a great mixture of species and this event will produce lots of edible species, poisonous ones, medicinal ones and just damn right rare ones. In some years bad weather (for fungi at least) can mean we find fewer specimens (though we have always found between 45 and 90 species in this wood) so there will be plenty to find.
