The countryside is a working landscape. Please be aware of your own safety and Comply with the Scottish Outdoor Access Code. By respecting the natural environment you can help to manage and conserve the countryside. When collecting mushrooms for any purpose, please consider the following points:
WHAT TO COLLECT
- Wildlife, especially insects, need mushrooms too, so only collect what you will use.
- Some mushrooms are poisonous and others rare and should not be collected – only collect what you know and take a field guide with you to identify mushrooms where you find them.
- Some species are vulnerable, so please consider whether there is an alternative species that is more common that might suit your purpose.
HOW TO COLLECT
- Allow mushrooms to release spores, do not pick mushrooms until the cap has opened out and leave those that are past their best.
- The main part of the mushroom is below the surface, take care not to damage or trample it, and not to disturb its surroundings.
- Scatter trimmings discreetly in the same area as the mushrooms came from.
WHERE TO COLLECT
- Before you collect mushrooms at a nature reserve please always seek advice from the manager, as special conditions may apply.
- If the land is privately owned, then permission must be sought from the land manager
