About the host
“Hiya, I’m Scribe. I have been fascinated by fungi since I was a teenager. I remember attending a foraging course on the South Coast of Kent and thinking ‘wow, I would just love to be able to look at a woodland or a grassy verge and see food and medicine rather than just trees, mushrooms and weeds’. Over the last five years or so I have learned to grow my own gourmet and medicinal mushrooms at home as well as studying what amazing plants and fungi grow wild in my local area of East Kent.''FROM £190
