Below are Amazon links to my three books on foraging. Hedgerow is published on the 3rd of August this year.

I very much hope you will be able to come along on one of my forays this year. Most are run with my good friends at River Cottage in south-east Devon or the Kingcombe Centre in West Dorset. I also run a few forays in association with hotels such as Summer Lodge in West Dorset. In addition I take several forays on my own (but with the invaluable assistance of my wife and daughters) in the New Forest.

There are two important things I must mention about my fungus forays.

First of all no amount of searching is going to be successful if the fungi just aren’t there. I have been very lucky and only two of my hundreds of forays over the years have found next to nothing. These were both in November after frosts and I have learnt my lesson. Still, some forays are more successful than others and we don’t come back with baskets completely full of interesting fungi every time.

The second point is that, while I am very keen to find edible species I really don’t care if I go back to the kitchen empty handed. The fungi are so interesting and beautiful that edibility is very much a secondary concern.

Below is a summary of the forays and events this year. I have included my seashore and hedgerow forays and appearance dates as well. For more details please contact the organization concerned through the links provided.

If there are any good finds or photos on the day I will post them on the appropriate page

Foray, talks and appearan for 2010.
