Food Foraging Facts!

In the UK you are legally entitled to forage for personal use, on any land that you have a right of access to.
Edible mushrooms are a great thing to forage in the UK and this course, or guides, are a great way to distinguish between edible and non-edible mushrooms.
During blackberry season (end of summer) they are very common around the UK countryside and make a great addition to breakfast or an apple crumble!
