I've been wondering about this! There is a Facebook Group called Pickling Peckham Urban Foragers, they might help

There is a serious point about foraging. Out in Kent there may be loads of wild garlic which will be OK to take a relatively small amount. There are 'gangs' of foragers eg Epping Forest picking wild mushrooms for market and destroying eco systems.


I once found a small group picking wild rocket on the Thames past Woolwich. In Sweden we picked wild berries and chantrelle mushrooms, but low population density and lots of land, plus it is something the Swedes (and Italians, Eastern Europeans and even the French do). A bit of cultural stereotyping.....


I saw some bright red spotty mushrooms on a golf course on a walk out towards Surrey, they looked lovely and I should have tried some......

I am not getting your point about killing yourself with 🍄?

For the wild garlic i'm attempting to bring it to my gzrden but failed last year i want to try again i love wild garlic pesto.

Ang there's a difference between foraging and exploiting nature indeed...

Yes I did say that?s what it was upthread!

I made a wild garlic and home made pappardelle (chunky pasta) https://www.bbc.co.uk/food/recipes/wild_garlic_langoustine_02012, as seen on Saturday Kitchen. I didn't use langoustine as don't eat animals.


First time both for the sauce and making pasta - very messy but will give it another go

    • This sounds like what goes on at Tessa Jowell GP surgery as well as others.   If you can flag yourself up as a ‘vulnerable’ patient or one that can’t use Apps for whatever reason etc then you can usually make appts by phone. They would have to make allowances. Quote the Equality Act 2010,  reasonable adjustments section.
    • Its part of a change all Doctor surgery's are undergoing.  The goverment want to stop the 8am scramble for an appointment, and its not just restricted to the Gardens. Sadly, it does impact some who are not digitally savy.   
    • There was quite an old clip on BBC4 recently where they were introducing yoghurt to the British public. They called it a 'Balkan Dairy Preparation', which sounded to me more like something you'd ask to speak to the male member of staff about in the chemist in those days.
    • I haven't had any problems, except when the online  appointment system is full, but I have found if something is urgent they can fit you in if you phone. I think they probably keep a few spaces free for urgent last minute appointments, but I'm just guessing  I've found it quite convenient being able to email questions which previously I would have had to ask at an actual appointment, and I've always had a speedy reply. You can send photos as well. I don't know about forms and letters. That sounds bad. Have the admin staff changed recently?
