Welcome to the fungi foraging blog – ‘Mushroom Diary’. My name is John Harris from Blaby, Leicestershire, and since becoming a enthusiastic fan of the mushroom hunt, either for food or simple curiosity in identification, I decided to log all my excursions and fungi discoveries via this web log.

Anyone who stumbles across this blog is free to register or leave a comment.

I have been seriously hunting mushrooms for many years, and class myself as a very enthusiastic amateur. Keeping notes and photos like this should help myself and others build their knowledge further in identification and understanding mushrooms. As this blog grows, I hope it will also act as a good reference point for the budding mycologist.

I have many mycology reference books which are marvelous, but I believe it’s even better to get great feedback and comments from fellow mushroom hunters, either in a crisis on identification or just sharing great finds and tasty cooking tips.

I hope you enjoy your visit here just as much as your foraging out there – in the wonderful world of mushrooms.

Cheers
John Harris
