Listen "Late Autumn foraging in the Hermitage"
Episode Synopsis
Join me as I head off foraging in the Hermitage of Braid woodlands with the brilliant Hana Koen. Find out all about the fascinating funghi we found, their medicinal properties and culinary flavours and discover how many are hiding in plain sight. We wandered through the very cold and sunny November sunshine and talked about mushrooms, dealing with an autism diagnosis and Hanna gave a great explanation of queer mycology theory before sharing her beautiful sketchbook.
A fascinating and education episode!
