The New Forest is one of the most important and protected sites in Europe for wild fungi and the broad-leaved and coniferous woodlands around Burley Rails Cottage are home to many species, whilst the Forest lawns and heaths play host to many more. The mushroom season starts traditionally in April with St. Georges mushroom but soon after, provided that the weather conditions are favourable, it is possible to collect many tasty species such as Chanterelle, Horn of plenty, Hedgehogs, Oysters and others, too numerous to mention. Provided that a few basic guidelines are followed, Fungi foraging in the New Forest is free of charge and you will not even have to open the gates of Burley Rails Cottage in order to find some of them!
