As long as you know what you're doing, and take a good identification guide with you, there are few things more delicious than your own apricot-coloured chanterelles, brown-capped penny buns or ceps, trumpet-like horns of plenty or creamy white field mushrooms.

But – and it's a big but – you would not want to encounter destroying angels, panther caps or even death caps, which will cause you no end of problems. Remember: take a guide!
