Fungi Walks and Meetings
Our Autumn 2026 programme will be made available below in late July / August after our AGM planned for late June. Please note that our booking scheme will be continuing and will apply to all our Walks. Instructions are fully explained below.
Unless otherwise stated, ALL WEEKEND WALKS START AT 10.00 am and finish between 12.30 am and 1.00 pm.
Unless otherwise stated, ALL WEEKDAY WALKS START AT 10.30 am and finish between 1.00 and 1.30 pm.
OUR WALKS ARE FOR MEMBERS ONLY, but if you'd like to come on a particular walk but are not yet a member, joining is very cheap and very easy: just click here. All are most welcome - especially families - and no previous experience is needed.
Cancellations / Weather conditions - Our walks go ahead 'whatever the weather' unless conditions are considered either dangerous (very windy, frosty or snowy) or too dry causing a lack of fungal activity. Very occasionally a site owner may cancel a visit due to unforeseen circumstances. In the unlikely event of a last minute cancellation, those members who've booked on a walk will be informed by email and / or phone. If in doubt over possibly dangerous conditions, it would be wise to check for messages or contact the leader before setting out from home.
Disclaimer - The Grid Reference given for each event is as accurate as we can make it and may not be at the exact location of the meeting place but should get you within a few hundred yards. Whilst every effort is made to ensure the Grid Reference and link to OpenStreetMap is correct BFG excepts no liability should you get lost. We now include the What3Words reference for the turn off spot from the road as an extra guide to each location. Clicking on the W3W link will open the app. Clicking on 'Navigate' will allow you to select your preferred navigation software (e.g. Google Maps).
Please note that by making a booking for one of our walks you are agreeing to follow our 'Walks Guidelines'. Click here to view
NB: If any members find they are not regularly receiving Penny's information circulars before an event (these are sent out the day before booking opens for each event) or have maybe changed their email address, please get in touch with her.
