This episode was recorded at the end of August with autumn just around the corner; Richard and Amy discuss the species highlights to look out for over the next few months. Wild fruits start appearing in summer with strawberries and raspberries being the first obvious candidates, Bilberries follow soon after and then as we edge to the end of summer and into autumn the different fruits available start to overlap. For us autumn means a season of collecting and preserving foraged fruits, from sweet and juicy plums to elusive fungi. Richard runs through his mental calendar of fruit and we discuss the merits of each in turn and the best ways to use them before turning to the wonderful world of mushrooms - the fruiting bodies of fungi.
