Forest to Fork Fungi Festival Scotland
How it all began
Forest to Fork was first introduced in August 2021, by three co- founders, Attila, Bea & Mario.
Mycobee founders Bea & Mario invited an expert mycologist Attila Fodi for the foraging weekend to Scotland. It was an amazing weekend followed by second successful event in October 2021 where the idea of annual Fungi Festival in Scotland officially came to life.
Mycobee Team is delighted to collaborate with Attila who kindly share knowledge and expertise regarding wild and cultivated mushrooms.
Profits from the event support Attila's research and study on medicinal mushrooms, especially our favourite Grifola frondosa AKA Hen of the Woods.
In 2022 we officially teamed up to host this fascinating event with Virn Stothers from Foraging with Virn who joined two previous events sharing her knowledge about mushrooms and plants
3rd Forest to Fork in 2022 turned out amazingly beyond our expectations. Fantastic people joined the event and thanks to help of our volunteer Asia, we had a fire at the evenings and lovely food.
We would like to invite you to our 4th expanded Forest to Fork Festival in September 2023.
Our team is growing bigger, allowing better planning with more activities to bring unforgettable moments for all who is going to join.
This year we are delighted to welcome our special guest Lisa from Edulis Wild Food who is going to open the event with Tree ID seminar.
It's going to be fascinating time!

Welcome our special guest at 4th Forest to Fork 2023, Lisa from Edulis Wild Food
Lisa Cutcliffe (Edulis Wild Food) is a foraging instructor and a huge fan of fungi. She's based in Leeds, Yorkshire, but spends several weeks up in Scotland every year, touring around studying and enjoying mushrooms, seaweeds and other wonderful wild foods.
Fungi were her first love in her foray into foraging, and are still her greatest passion.
Lisa is running a tree ID seminar on the day of arrival to the festival. Knowing key tree species is a valuable skill for fungi ID, and it's often something that mushroom nuts overlook in their quest for further mycological knowledge.
We'll go over useful tree species to recognise and examples of fungi they partner with, how to tell apart some of the conifers and broadleaf trees commonly found in Scotland, and to get to know our amazing arboreal neighbours a bit better.
