Foraging is the art of searching for and gathering edible plants, fruits, nuts and fungi, and is a fun and rewarding way of spending time out in nature! It involves developing and sharing knowledge on species identification, species availability due to location/climate/season, culinary/medicinal uses of foraged ingredients, and identification of potentially harmful or toxic species.

Elliot grew up in a rural farming town in the UK and started to learn about local wildlife from a young age. During lockdown his curiosity evolved into an obsession when he found himself settled in the middle of the Scottish woods surrounded by autumnal fungi and ancient woodland and started a journey of discovery into the benefits of local wildlife. Elliot has continued his studies
into plants, fungi and food, studying horticulture with the RHS, organizing community walks, and teaching species identification as well as safe and sustainable ways of foraging. As a self-confessed mycophile and wild food enthusiast he jumps at any opportunity to discuss the medicinal, nutritional, and mindful benefits that come with foraging.
