Nothing gets us more excited at River Cottage HQ than wild mushrooms. But these glorious fruits of the field and wood are available to everyone, so why not get out there and bag some for yourself? This video, put together by River Cottage mushroom guru John Wright and Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, is a fantastic introduction to the delights of mushroom foraging. In John's safe hands we take a tour through the tastiest wild mushrooms our countryside has to offer, from the humble Common Puffball to the majestic Cep. John gives us his top tips on where and when to go, what to pick and what to avoid. Then it's back to the kitchen where Gill and I get to work turning our haul into a whole array of fantastic dishes. Whether you're a seasoned mycophile or a total novice, this video will whet your appetite for the vast array of fungal flavours out there and inspire you to add a truly wild edge to your cooking! Head off on a mushroom journey with me, John and Gill. Feast on 50 minutes of brand new material packed with information on how to make the most out of your mushrooming, in the wilds and in the kitchen.
