Disclaimer

There are wild plants and fungi in the UK that are deadly if you eat them, and some that are incredibly harmful if you touch them. Never consume any wild plant or fungi without confirming that you know EXACTLY what it is. Check several sources of information, and do not rely on just one website or book for a positive ID. Whilst the information on this website has been professionally fact-checked, you use this content at your own risk. Foraging for wild plants uses all of our senses; it is often impossible to tell what species a plant or mushroom is from a picture alone.

UK LAW

It is against UK law to uproot or dig up any plant matter unless you have the permission of whoever owns the land you are on. It is permitted to pick the leaves, flowers and fruit of plants and to harvest mushrooms from most common land, as long as it is for your own consumption.
