Guided Mushroom Foraging Walk in Dalkeith Country Park

Hello everyone!

Saturday 12th October we are organising another walk in the beautiful Dalkeith Country Park, because last years was SO MUCH FUN!

We will mainly be focusing on mushroom (edible, medicinal and psychedelic) and their identification. We will cover sustainable foraging practices, importantance of decomposition while we explore the local ecology of Dalkeith country park.

We live in Scotland, so come prepared for the cold, rain and mud. We recommend you bring a rain-jacket, walking boots or wellies and (sugary?) snacks. Pop us a message about accessibility- this walk can be adapted for buggies & wheelchair user. Children welcome but they must be accompanied by their guardians at all times.

We will meet at the Restoration Yard in Dalkeith Country Park at 12 noon. There are toilets and a cafe on site.

You can get there by public transport using the number 3 bus going from Princes Street, South Bridge, South Clerk Street and Newington Road and getting off at Buccleugh Street in Dalkeith. The park is only a short walk from there. If driving, parking on site is 3 pounds.

Everyone is welcome: first-time foragers and experts alike! There will be something for everyone. There will be time to take notes, make drawings and have some snacks.

This walk is run by Johanna & Federico.
