Foraging Update

We’re half way through August and so far 8 walks have taken place. In all but one we managed to eat our packed lunches in the sun…..the weather has been fine for each, including the one on the day Carrowniskey races got cancelled!!

To date 73 adults and 44 children/teens have taken part and if the economy does go belly up, that’s 117 people who should be able to find a free lunch now and then!

We’ve found and eaten 2 types of edible mushroom on every trip, far exceeding my expectations…more species should appear as we near September.

Thanks to all who have taken part so far, and given such good feedback. If anyone has any photos, send them in……I only have pictures from 3 walks…too busy talking to remember to snap.

Happy Foraging Will
