Fungi

Last week I had an interesting conversation with my optician who, it turns out, is a keen forager. On Tuesday I went to River Cottage and did a day of mushroom foraging....although most of what we spotted were poisonous or inedible. Anyway, that cost £165 and it took 3 hours to drive there. The optician, on the other hand, works in Hersham and has offered to do a fungi foray free of charge on October 22nd at Heyswood. Because it is the first time he has done anything like this he is only going to take 12 of us. So if you want to come you need to sign up on the list I will put up at SWITCH.
PS in case you are wondering about why we are going to Heyswood it is because that is the woodland he picks in and it is close to where he works so he can come along after his clinic finishes.

Sorry - fungi don't like frost so we have had to postpone this until next september.
