Fergus Drennan aka Fergus The Forager has been learning about wild food plants ever since he began collecting dandelion leaves for his tortoise almost 50 years ago, although wild flavours only really grabbed his attention with full force after his first fungi forage back in 1990.  Since then he has continued his adventures with wild foods, running regular courses all over the country for the past 20 years, as well as exploring the medicinal and more creative craft side of both plants and fungi. The latter included the co-creation of a book entirely made from mushroom paper written and illustrated with 100% wild crafted inks and paints, the making of mushroom hats, tanning fish skins to make leather using fungi, and 100 + different plants, as well as dyeing leather with mushroom and plant extracts.
