A great opportunity to find out about the magical and fascinating world of mushrooms.
This is a great opportunity to find out about the magical and fascinating world of mushrooms.
We will look at the identification and habitats of species we find along the way, how they work and why they make a woodland healthy, along with some vital environmental factors and considerations that both new and seasoned mushroom enthusiasts need to know. We will aim to identify a selection of species for making ink and fire lighting, learn the edible and toxic species, and maybe even find a tasty fungi treat together in the woods.
We will also learn some of the bizarre and unusual behaviours of fungi, and learn what makes fungi some of the most fascinating, beautiful and strange organisms to occupy our natural world.
Suitable for approximate ages 14+. Approximately a 2 mile walk on uneven ground.
We will be meeting at the Vench Adventure Playground, Romney Avenue, Lockleaze.
Please get in contact with [email protected] for further information.
What to Bring?
Notepad, pen and camera, snacks and refreshments for on the day. Dress accordingly to the weather and wear sturdy footwear.
You do not need to bring a copy of your ticket with you.
IMPORTANT NOTES - Please read before booking:
-This is not specifically a mushroom foraging course i.e. we will not be solely focused only on edible mushrooms.
-Although we try our best to choose the best weeks in the year to run these events where the fungi will be out in force, we are unable to predict the weather and exact dates that nature will "do its thing". Mushroom season is tricky, with the window adjusting to the climate/weather, and can vary year on year, with things changing dramatically from one week to the next. THEREFORE if we get to date that the event is to run, and we don't believe a good quality mushroom course is possible to run, THIS EVENT WILL GO AHEAD BUT BE RUN AS AN AUTUMNAL WILD FOOD AND PRACTICAL PLANTS COURSE. Please be aware of this before booking - you will be made aware of any changes in the 48 hours prior to the event so you know what to expect.

Cancellation/Postponing due to Poor Weather
SE Outdoor Learning events take place outdoors, and therefore unfortunately we may need to be postponed or cancelled in the days leading up to the event if it seems that the weather will be too poor for it to be run safely. A cancellation will result in a full refund processed via Eventbrite. We will always aim to confirm cancellation of the event 24 - 48 hours in advance (though on very rare occassions, sudden weather changes may mean its closer than this). Please keep an eye on your emails and Facebook for information regarding this. If you cannot make a postponed date, a voucher can be provided for attendance to any future SEOL event.
Refunds
Refunds are available up to 30 days prior to the event which you can arrange via Eventbrite. If a course is cancelled by Steve England Outdoor Learning, a full refund will be made via Eventbrite.
If you have any issues please get in touch with [email protected].
