What better way to spend a cold, wet, autumn Sunday than to head to Mid Wales to take part in some mushroom foraging with mushroom expert Dan Butler?
Well, thanks to my friend and hedgerow guru Adele Nozedar, that’s exactly what I did.
I love mushrooms, they’re so versatile and healthy but I went along to the fungi foray prepared that it was time to move past the Sauteed Mushrooms, to shun the run of the mill button variety and start being a bit more adventurous with fungi…

Meanwhile here are 10 reasons why mushrooms are great…
