Foraging is in vogue, naturally overpicking will be a problem, particularly in areas near to large populations. East Europeans have arrived here in large numbers and lots of them gather fungi.

Is that contentious?
No. Its just amusing that both newspapers have to have someone to blame, and that rather than being kind of sensible about it, both just went at one particular group.

If thise are the people doing the overpicking, then who else is responsible?
Personally, I blame Ray Mears and Hugh Whittingstall.

Not Jamie and monkeys? Are you softening in your old age?
Has that grinning Mockney simian been advocating foraging then? If so I wish poisoning on his followers, ideally of the waking-nightmare, hallucinogenic sort, that leaves them insane gibbering wrecks playing with their own droppings in a padded cell.
To Jamie Oliver I continue to wish great success in America - so that he decamps there and does not return, and ideally is killed there by mountainy-men in a Deliverance-inspired ritual of horror and perversion.

If there really is damage being done, and it is those people doing it, then I agree. The purpose of posting wasn't to dispute that, it wast to point out what I consider to be the amusing way that two reactionary papers reported it. Perhaps you missed that.

If what they wrote was true, I don't see what was either amusing or reactionary about it. Rather depressing in fact.
