Autumn Equinox: Mushrooms, Shadows & Safety (Seasonal Foraging & Folk)

This is not a “pick and eat” mushroom course.

Instead, this extended autumn session teaches you how to properly see fungi — safely, slowly, and with respect. We’ll explore fungal folklore, fears, and traditions, alongside careful observation and non-edible uses.

What we’ll cover

• How to observe and describe fungi
• Folk beliefs, taboos, and stories
• When not to harvest

Includes

• Extended fungi walk
• Making fungal ink or dye
• Strong emphasis on safety and restraint
• Notes for further learning

Ideal for curious beginners who want understanding, not risk.

Dinner can be supplied by the venue on request at an extra cost of £18pp, either over the phone, or via a payment link, arranged on 01342 822238.
