It is illegal to forage within the Ashridge Estate

Fungi

Autumn is a beautiful time to enjoy the woods as leaves turn vibrant shades and fungi add splashes of colour across the forest floor. However, as Ashridge is a Site of Special Scientific Interest (SSSI), foraging isn’t permitted anywhere on the estate.

Instead, the season can be enjoyed through drawing or photography, using apps or guides to help identify what you see while leaving nature undisturbed. By leaving fungi where they grow, you’ll be helping to protect the delicate ecosystem so that wildlife and visitors can continue to enjoy it.
