  1. Why bring a foraging basket if you aren’t going to pick anything though?

  2. Been a looong time since I went mushroom picking. I get the feeling we were searching for very different things though.

  3. It is pretty amazing the things the police seem to make time for vs. the things they don’t

  4. >in Leicestershire, in search of magpie inkcaps – a rare kind of fungus.

    >It follows a complaint by the Bradgate Park Trust, which runs the park, that Mrs Gather picked mushrooms illegally because it is a designated site of special scientific interest (SSSI).

    So, not so much foraging but picking a rare species from a site with special protection.
