Now there's a new way to participate in our Walk on the Wildside "Magic of Mushrooms" course. As well as the full day at River Cottage HQ, Mushroom Handbook and the DVD, we've added a unique new method for you to experience the full detail of our favourite wild food. This is the River Cottage on-line Mushroom course.

In this course you will learn the principles of foraging, identification and of course, cooking and eating your finds. Led by River Cottage's own wild food 'fun guy', John Wright will start with the most important aspect, safety and how to avoid being poisoned. We then establish a small target set of species for you to acquaint yourself with, so you can search and find these and then move up to extend your knowledge.

There is an interactive mushroom identification tool to help and you'll be able to record your finds and (secret!) locations.

The course contains:
- Over 30 mins of Video - instruction, tips and recipes
- An interactive guide to Mushroom idenfication and field guide for 29 common mushrooms
- Over 20 River Cottage mushroom recipes
(In fact, more than what we would cover on the one day course and the DVD put together!)
And, all of this can be accessed and enjoyed again and again...

This course is suitable for anyone interested in increasing their mushroom knowledge and making the most of their collecting.

As this is online it is entirely interactive, you can decide which bits of the course are appropriate to you. And you can complete them at your own leisure. We've added a 'coursebook' and it will remember which section you've completed as you go along. You can add your own notes, on the mushrooms you find, your experiences and recipes - to make a complete reference for you for the future. You can add to this at any time. When you've completed the course, we'll even automatically send your own personalized course certificate, signed by John to say you've finished!

Throughout the process on line, you can consult our wide range of FAQs and if there's not an answer, ask your own.

In addition, a full list of other resources is also in the course structure, suppliers of tools, books etc. In fact everything you could possible need to know.
