Enter into the world of fungi with Dartmoor's Daughter, Devon's top mycologist Dr Christian Taylor, and Daniel Thompson-Mills of Steward Community Woodland. On a walk through the woods you will learn how to identify edible and other fungi and find out all about this marvellous kingdom of nature. We will fry up any edible mushrooms we find as a delicious treat at the end.
