Something I'd been meaning to do for years...

.. I've always fancied foraging for mushrooms and have loads of great books on the matter. I'm really bad at identifying them and wouldn't dream of trusting myself to pick anything edible. So I found a mushroom foraging day with the Dean Heritage centre. It was a little weird-a few passionate old guys with baskets turned up and of we went, all 30 of us through the woods. Bit bizarre but once we got into it it was great fun. We didn't really find anything that exciting or indeed that edible but  I do feel slightly more knowledgeable about funghi now than I did-still don't trust my identifying skills though so will sadly still be buying tastless specimens from the shops!
