Join us to learn about mushrooms that can be used as fire lighters and tinder, plasters and medicine, and winter sustenance as food or tea. This course will be a chance to connect with the mushrooms growing locally at this time of year and learn about why they were important allies for our hunter gatherer ancestors.

Learn how to identify several mushrooms with confidence and how to use them for bushcraft practices such as firelighting and first aid in simple ways that you can replicate at home. We'll also be exploring the history and folklore of their uses.

You will be guided by Live Wild's Leonie Morris - qualified Bushcraft Instructor & Wild Food Teacher and Sophie Wren - Forager and Wild Food Experimenter

The cost for the course is £50.
