Spend some time exploring local woodlands and discovering what fungi is fruiting in September and October. Become familiar with common species, as well as learning to spot identification traits. Enjoy using your senses to encounter the wonderful variety of fungi – red, yellow, purple, blue colours and smells of almond, pelargonium, aniseed, engine oil and bleach! No experience of mycology is necessary.

This course is suitable for beginners and enthusiasts like. There are toilets onsite. Please bring sturdy boots.

I’m a fungi enthusiast and have been studying fungi for 10 years with the North East Fungus Study Group. I love the sensory aspect of finding mushrooms – the smells, the colours and the ‘feel’ of a mushroom can be so vibrant and variable. The hobby is addictive!
