dirty too

Wales.
September.
Mushroom foraging equipment:

A knife, ideally one with a hooked inward blade to make cutting the stem easier, similar to a pruning knife.
A brush to dust of any debris.

A basket or paper bags, never use plastic as they sweat and spoil. Ideally a wicket basket.

A walking stick, this is really useful to move foliage back to save bending down when loooking under plants etc.

A wide brimmed hat, helps the eye to focus and cuts down glare from morning sun

A flask of tea ;-) foraging should be done at leisure and made enjoyable with time to assess the finds so far.

Mushroom field guides (usually more than one for reference)

Can't wait.
