Fungus Foray at Thorpe Perrow arboretum nr Ripon

Thought I'd mention this, I went on one a few years ago. It's run by Dr Keith Thomas , who I know, he's a nice bloke (Sunderland Uni, also co founder of Darwin Brewery, CAMRA festival monitor, official tasting trainer and runs the brewing course at Sunderland!)

You have to pay to get in (£6.60), but then you wander round either in a group or on your own, at the end of a couple of hours Keith goes through your finds and tells you whats what.

So you know how great Salsify is as a veg, what about Cavero Nero,great leaves all through the winter , then in Spring sprouting broccolli like flowers! Takes up half as much room as broccolli
