The Forager's Calendar
Welcome to the
Forager's Calendar Website!
This site is designed to complement the Forager's Calendar with extra material. This includes some more forageable species, more photographs, a simple key to the gilled fungi described in the book and more.
I am also using this site to keep people informed about the forays I run around Britain and as a means by which people can contact me for any private fungus, seashore or hedgerow foray they would like me to lead. Please contact me here if you would like more information.
News: For the last two years I have been working on a new book:
The Observant Walker.
Within its pages I relate my eight journeys with 'D' through the natural history of Britain.
My last book, Spotter's Guide to Countryside Mysteries, is also supported.
This is devoted to all the things one sees on a country walk for which any explanation does not come readily to hand: Smut fungi, dew ponds, broomrapes, strip lynchets, piddocks, scarlet caterpillar fungi,
Wood Ear
Black Mustard
Field Mushrooms
