# Event Details - **Event Name**: Spring Mushroom Forage at Fletcher Moss Park - **Event Start and End Date**: Sun, 26 Apr, 2026 at 10:00 am – Sun, 26 Apr, 2026 at 01:00 pm (+01:00) - **Event Description**: St Georges Mushrooms and wild spring greensAbout this EventThe mushroom season really kicks off with St George's mushrooms, Calocybe gambosa. The scientific name means "club footed (gambosa) pretty head (calocybe)". They come up reliably in time for St Georges day and make a lovely dish with wild garlic and hogweed shoots.On this course you will learn how to identify St Georges mushrooms and any other edible species we find, as well as wild garlic and hogweed and other useful edible springtime wild foods. At the end we will have a fry up and taste our foraged finds :DThe route will take us around the park and woods where you’ll learn to confidently identify some common edibles, understand the ecological roles of plants and fungi in woodland systems, and talk through key features for identification.I will also introduce you to some ideas from Embodied Foraging — a sensory approach to nature connection that invites you to notice how we move through the woods, what draws our attention, and how we build a relationship with place through more than just facts and species lists.Research into Foraging:This walk is part of my research into foraging and will be exploring themes of nature connection. As such, this is a free event. All details of participation will be provided once you register your interest.

Colin is also a lead admin on the UK's largest social media group with 80K members, Mushroom Spotters UK on Facebook.Mushroom foraging courses. Foraging for mushrooms, you will learn to slow down, to connect with the forest and understand how species connect with each other. Learn how the mycorrhizal species help the trees to gather nutrients and support each other, how the saprotrophic species break down dead matter in a way that no other thing in nature can do. The format of a forage course is to liven your palate with a sample or a few of gins made from wild ingredients, gaultheria or sloe or pinecone and many more. Tastes to blow your mind. Then, staffs in hand, a forage walk/ A slow paced wander through the woods, learning about the fungi we find and collecting some in our baskets for the fry up at the end where we get to taste the treats we find. A forage walk is overflowing with wellbeing and mindfulness and is a welcome break from our busy lives." } ] } ] ```
