Survey of mushroom collecting
Reforesting Scotland is carrying out a survey of fungi harvesting in order to understand gathering on a national scale. Gathering fungi appears to be becoming increasingly popular and we want to ensure that this continues to be something everyone can enjoy. The survey will inform our work promoting sustainable wild harvesting. We know how fond Polish people are of fungi, so I would particularly like to target the community in Scotland and to harness the knowledge that a well established harvesting culture could bring for the sustainability of fungi harvesting in Scotland.
