Fungus Forage with the experts in North Yorkshire,


The forests around us here at Flamborough Rigg Cottage B & B, Stape, are full of interesting looking fungi in the autumn but our lack of knowledge has meant that, even us Labs who are known to eat everything, have avoided scoffing them but that may be about to change.

There are a couple of Fungas foraging events locally that we can join so we will know what tasty forest morsels to go for.


Grimston Moor in the Howardian Hills
On 26 September 2009 from 10.00 – 12.00 the North York Moors National Park Authority are inviting people to join them on Grimston Moor that allows you forage for mushrooms in the woods while also learning about the local geology.

Dalby Forest:
On Sunday 4 October we could join the Forestry Commissions excellent wildlife rangers in Dalby Forest, North Yorkshire, to learn about the many types of fungi that grow in the forest. They have even said that us dogs are welcome, they obviously need our foraging expertise.

The meeting place is the Haygate and the event takes place from 14.00 – 16.00.
