About Blackstairs Eco Trails

Blackstairs Eco Trails offers outdoor workshops that focus on discovering and using wild fungi. The business runs the Wild Fungi Workshop, a 5.5-hour guided woodland experience that introduces participants to the diversity of wild mushrooms. During the workshop, participants learn to identify various species, observe seasonal habitats, and practice careful collection of edible specimens. The workshop combines field learning with culinary practice: attendees enjoy a three-course organic lunch and have the opportunity to cook with edible finds gathered during the session.

Instruction in the Wild Fungi Workshop emphasizes practical, hands-on activities. Participants examine identifying features, compare common look-alikes, and discuss ecological roles of fungi to build observational skills in the field. The culinary portion demonstrates simple preparations that highlight foraged ingredients alongside organic accompaniments in a full three-course meal served on site. The combination of foraging, identification, and cooking creates a single-session experience that connects outdoor learning with meal preparation.

Blackstairs Eco Trails presents the Wild Fungi Workshop as a structured 5.5-hour trip set in woodland terrain. The format supports people who want a focused day exploring mushroom identification and edible preparation without committing to a multi-day course. Clear timing, an included organic lunch, and the opportunity to prepare foraged ingredients provide a defined, educational outdoor activity for participants interested in fungi, seasonal food, and hands-on natural history.

Blackstairs Eco Trails is featured on The Adventure Collective, where full trip details and booking information can be found. Participants should review trip notes and requirements listed on the experience page carefully.
