“Mushroom foraging has been on my bucket list for a long time. We travelled deep into a forest in search of the cherished Chanterelle. Alex was bounding across the magical forest floor. We found and tasted shoots, button Chanterelles, Hedge Hogs, blueberries, lichen and so much more. I left there on a spiritual high. It was fantastic.”
