An expert on fungus told visitors to Worcester’s Gheluvelt Park all about mushrooms during a walk-and-talk event at the weekend.

Children and adults were entertained by self-confessed fungus anorak Cynan Jones.

Mr Jones runs the Mushroom Garden in North Wales which produces gourmet mushrooms for some of the best chefs in the country.

He said: “I have been foraging for wild mushrooms and eating them for many years. It is a real passion for me.”

Saturday’s event encouraged participants to enjoy nature’s mushrooms in meals but also taught those who went along which ones to avoid.
