Never eat anything you cannot identify with 100% certainty.

This is a guide, not a substitute for expert identification. Foraging guides - including this one - can contain errors. If you are not completely certain of an identification, do not eat it. Cross-check against at least two independent sources, and when in doubt, consult a local foraging expert or an experienced forager in person before eating anything wild.

Soil: heavy clay woodland soils, neutral to acid, often damp underfoot

Dominant species: Corsican pine plantation with surviving stands of oak planted in 1815

Parking: Pay-and-display car park at the Alice Holt visitor centre
