Want to explore the wonderful world of fungi?

The Female Forager (Alex) will guide you to safely identify mushroom species and explore their medicinal qualities in this unique foraging event that goes beyond the traditional foraging experience.  

Alex delights in sharing her passion for the magical fungi kingdom and is an empowering teacher to those who want to experience a deeper connection with nature's edible and medicinal larder.

This event has been highly popular in previous years and is now returning for its third consecutive year. Spaces are limited, so book now to secure your spot and avoid disappointment!  

Location

Cowdray Forest, West Sussex is home to an abundance of varied wildlife. Just a one and a half hour drive from London, or a 35 min train from London + a 30 min walk to the meeting point, you will enjoy beautiful woodland and an abundance of fungi spotting on this morning walk.

Exact meeting location will be shared upon ticket purchase.

"What an amazing morning spent learning about edible and medicinal fungi. Truly magical!! During our woodland walk the group was introduced to around 20 different varieties, all of which were expertly described by Alexandra. We look forward to further courses. Highly recommended." 

"Alexandra is an incredible woman with tonnes of knowledge around harnessing the power of mushroom medicine. Highly recommended"

Really loved mushroom foraging in the Chiltern, I would recommend this to everyone! It’s very empowering to understand what’s around us and to be caught up in the mystery of nature with other like-minded people! Our guide Nick was absolutely brilliant so friendly and knowledgable. X
