Well it's that time again where Cab latest monthly foraging tips can be seen here: https://www.downsizer.net/Projects/Wild_Food/Top_Ten_Wild_Foods_in_March/ Down here we'll have to wait for the snow to melt and the sun to come out again.

I saw the first Lesser Celandines on a bank this morning, as well as Daisies. Might go looking for Morels this afternoon: we have a conifer wood behind us. One autumn I found a huge Cauliflower fungus in a conifer wood in Shropshire, but haven't seen one since. Keep looking though!

We've found quite a few Cauliflower fungi, very good to eat.

We've looked for some morels but not had any luck yet, we'll be trying a good place this weekend.

I'm going to take the kids out with me over the easter holidays to see what we can find. Don't know if I can drag the other half out but I'll give it my best shot

Car's apparently

But if I drive out about 10 miles or so there are some fanastic woodlands and walks over the beacons.

We haven't foraged for much in the past, we did go on an organised mushroom walk once but didn't find a lot that day. I have 2 very good mushroom books though and a rather bedraggled copy of Food For Free.

Normally we wait until the late summer, early autumn and concentrate on fruit, I know where I can pick cooking apples from a bit of ground that was made available to the public, eating apples and plums growing in the hedgerows and of course the obligatory sloes and blackberries, we used to have a wonderful place where the blackberries were the size of large strawberries and there were 6 pear trees too but they built a bypass over it last year
