# Event Details - **Event Name**: Mushroom Foraging Walk - **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 03 Oct, 2026 at 01:00 pm – Sat, 03 Oct, 2026 at 04:00 pm - **Event Description**: A woodland foraging walk, looking at mushroom identification. Based near Linlithgow at Beecraigs Country ParkAbout this EventJoin me for a foraging walk, focusing on edible fungi and their look-a-likes. We will look at different mushroom families including the boletes (boletus), milk caps (lactarius) and brittle-gills (russula), exploring both edible and medicinal uses. We will also look at the families with more toxic species, such as cortinarius and amanita. If we are very lucky, we might even find a cauliflower (fungus)! Medicinal species we will discuss include turkey tail and birch polypore, as well as novel food legislation and how it impacts these natural medicines.Ambling through the trees and alongside the loch we will explore how to make wild food a staple and the benefits of doing so - from the nutritional to the cultural and philosophical. Throughout the afternoon gather the basic skills required to identify common edibles as well as how to avoid poisonous & inedible lookalikes. We will look at the role and risks of identification apps, as well as how to use mushroom guidebooks and trusted internet sources.The walk should last ~3 hours with the opportunity to stay a little later to ask chat and ask questions. We will meet outside the visitor center, where coffee, meals and snacks are available. Suitable for all ages with children welcome - individual or family tickets. As we will finish by the playpark, this is the ideal loction for keen young foragers. Not easily accessible via public transport (the nearest station is 3 miles away at Linlithgow, about ten minutes by taxi).Under 5s are free to attend, contact me for older child tickets, priced at £5.Meeting Point: Visitor Centre, Beecraigs Country Park, Linlithgow, EH49 6PLTime: 1pm - 4pm - **Event URL**: https://allevents.in/linlithgow/mushroom-foraging-walk/100002002544879642 - **Event Categories**: meetups - **Interested Audience**: - total_interested_count: 0 - **Event Highlights**: - Duration: 3 hours - Location: Beecraigs Country Park - Languages: English ## Ticket Details - **Ticket Price Range**: min: 27.8, max: 30, currency: GBP ## Event venue details - **city**: Linlithgow - **state**: SC - **country**: United Kingdom - **location**: Beecraigs Country Park - **lat**: 55.95542409999999 - **long**: -3.5953675 - **full address**: Beecraigs Country Park, Beecraigs Country Park, Linlithgow, United Kingdom ## Event gallery - **Alt text**: Mushroom Foraging Walk - **Image URL**: https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/92d07ea5c3d9efe51847d58148b452f956299a26505d6f77ab5e3c997b0610f1-rimg-w1200-h676-dcd8d8c8-gmir.jpg?v=1790936227 ## FAQs - **Q**: When and where is Mushroom Foraging Walk being held? - **A:** Mushroom Foraging Walk takes place on Sat, 03 Oct, 2026 at 01:00 pm to Sat, 03 Oct, 2026 at 04:00 pm at Beecraigs Country Park, Beecraigs Country Park, Linlithgow, United Kingdom. - **Q**: Who is organizing Mushroom Foraging Walk? - **A:** Mushroom Foraging Walk is organized by Amy Rankine, Forager. ## Structured Data (JSON-LD) ```json [ { "@context": "https://schema.org", "@type": "Event", "name": "Mushroom Foraging Walk", "image": "https://cdn-az.allevents.in/events10/banners/92d07ea5c3d9efe51847d58148b452f956299a26505d6f77ab5e3c997b0610f1-rimg-w1200-h676-dcd8d8c8-gmir.jpg?v=1790936227", "startDate": "2026-10-03", "endDate": "2026-10-03", "url": "https://allevents.in/linlithgow/mushroom-foraging-walk/100002002544879642", "location": { "@type": "Place", "name": "Beecraigs Country Park", "address": { "@type": "PostalAddress", "streetAddress": "Beecraigs Country Park", "postalCode": "EH49 6PL", "addressLocality": "Linlithgow", "addressRegion": "SC", "addressCountry": "GB" }, "geo": { "@type": "GeoCoordinates", "latitude": "55.95542409999999", "longitude": "-3.5953675" } }, "eventAttendanceMode": "https://schema.org/OfflineEventAttendanceMode", "description": "A woodland foraging walk, looking at mushroom identification.

I offer workshops aiming to help people build skills in identification, whether beginning their foraging journey or growing their knowledge.Walks last approximately three hours, with groups no larger than 12 participants, and look at a range of wild plants and fungi that are in season. We will discuss identification, possible look-a-likes including similar poisonous and toxic plants or mushrooms. With everyday use in mind, we will discuss how to cook foods as well as how to store them. We also look at how to forage mindfully and become caretakers of the environment. As such, so not to put undue pressure on the ecosystem, group courses do not include collection of ingredients, although we will taste edible plants.People of all ages are welcome on walks - children particularly are excellent at spotting different species. Ensuring walks are accessible is particularly important to me, and locations have been chosen with this in mind. If you have any particular requirements please do get in touch and I would be happy to advise on which route will meet your needs, and make any alterations to help you attend.Find - Forage - Ferment" } ] } ] ```
