Welcome to The Grizzly Forager!
Hello Intrepid Foragers!
And welcome to The Grizzly Forager, a page all about a little boy and his dad exploring the wilds of Northumberland and the surrounding areas in search of adventure, fun and edible wild food!
Our little boy, Arthur-Felix, is three, and has become quite the little forager! He comes out with us every day, and can identify lots of edible plants and fungi, like sorrel, wood sorrel, red clover, heal-all, water mint, thyme, rosebay willowherb, elderflower, bilberry, strawberry, blackberry, raspberry, wood hedgehogs, ceps, chanterelles, stinkhorn (which he calls "big stinky wi***es!") and cauliflower fungus. We often bring home our finds and cook and eat them together as a meal, make desserts, syrups or teas, or do other activities, such as create art with mushroom spore prints. This really does make the whole experience really engaging and family orientated.
We also teach him about toxic plants, such as foxglove, Yew, and nightshade, and have a strong emphasis on safety, always iterating to him that he's not to put anything into his mouth unless we say it's okay, and we'll do exactly the same with his little sister, Sybbie, who's two months old.
