3 Things You Can Forage For In September

1. Sweet Chestnuts (Castanea sativa)
  Sweet chestnuts are autumn’s treat, look for spiky green cases on the woodland floor. Crack them open for glossy brown nuts, perfect for roasting or adding to seasonal dishes. They’re a bit fiddly, but totally worth it!
1. Penny Buns (Boletus edulis)
  
  Penny Bun (Boletus edulis). The penny bun, aka porcini, is the king of wild mushrooms, popping up in beech and oak woods after rain. With a fat white stem and brown cap, it’s easy to spot. Fry in butter or add to risotto for a real wild flavour.
1. Hen of the Woods (Grifola frondosa)
  Hen of the Woods (Grifola frondosa) Hen of the woods, aka Maitake, grows in big, ruffled clusters at the base of old oaks. It’s firm, tasty, and soaks up flavours, great in stir-fries or simply roasted. Once you find one, check the same spot next year!
