Wood walks offer food for thought
Organised by the Forestry Commission, visitors are being invited to join veteran mushroom spotter, Brian Walker, on four fungi forages in Dalby Forest, near Pickering, on October 2 and 9.
Mr Walker, seen above with a fly agaric, from Thornton Dale, said: “There are plenty of varieties about, helped by the more moist and warmer weather of recent weeks.”
