Wild Mushrooms online. About Geoff | Geoff's Fungi and Foraging. Email: geoffdann@hotmail.com Phone: 07964 569715 Twitter: @DannGeoff I am a fungi and foraging expert/instructor, based in Hastings. I spend my autumns accompanying small, self-assembled groups (families, groups of friends, couples) on walks in search of fungi, usually on public access land. I also collaborate with landowners to offer longer foraging courses for larger groups.

In the evenings I give talks, and bring a selection of whatever is currently available for people to try. I am also available for foraging and fungi/plant ID sessions at all times of the year. How did I end up doing this? The long version starts with a childhood spent roaming the Surrey Downs, always aware of the wildlife around me and always fascinated by it. My particular fascination with fungi did not take off until I was in my late teens and decided, as you do, to go searching for liberty caps or “magic mushrooms.” I did have a proper job once. Perfect chicken-of-the-woods specimen, June 2013.
