  "description": "## Want to explore the wonderful world of fungi?\n\nJoin [The Female Forager](The Female Forager )(Alexandra Lea) for a guided woodland walk exploring the fascinating world of medicinal fungi, their role within woodland ecosystems, and their potential to heal life threatening conditions.\n\nTogether we'll learn how to safely identify a variety of wild mushroom species, discover the habitats in which they thrive, and explore the medicinal properties that have made fungi an important part of healing traditions across cultures for centuries.\n\nDrawing on her background in Biology, over a decade studying medicinal mushrooms, professional experience in the functional mushroom sector, and more than twenty years of spiritual practice, Alexandra explores fungi through ecological, medicinal, cultural, and spiritual perspectives.\n\nMore than a foraging walk, this experience invites participants to see fungi through multiple lenses. Scientific, medicinal, ecological, and experiential, while developing a greater appreciation for the extraordinary kingdom that exists beneath our feet.\n\nThis event has proved highly popular in previous years and returns for its third consecutive year. Spaces are limited, so early booking is recommended.\n\n### Location\n\nSt Helens Woods \n\nExact meeting location will be shared upon ticket purchase.\n\n\"What an amazing morning spent learning about edible and medicinal fungi. Truly magical!! During our woodland walk the group was introduced to around 20 different varieties, all of which were expertly described by Alexandra. We look forward to further courses. Highly recommended.\" \n\n\"Alexandra is an incredible woman with tonnes of knowledge around harnessing the power of mushroom medicine. Highly recommended\"\n\n## MEET THE FEMALE FORAGER\n\n### Alexandra Lea\n\n![](https://r2.dandelion.events/2025/10/14/12/46/38/93deb78b-c80b-4a98-abf8-52294bfaaad4/matteo (4).png)\n\nAlexandra is a biologist and ethnomycologist specialising in medicinal fungi, with a rare ability to bridge rigorous scientific enquiry and intuitive spiritual understanding.\n\nDrawing on over two decades of spiritual practice and more than ten years immersed in the medicinal potential of the fungal kingdom, she brings a uniquely holistic perspective to fungi education.\n\nHaving worked with two of the UK's leading medicinal mushroom organisations, Alexandra has delivered workshops, talks and guided forays across the UK and Europe to audiences ranging from healthcare and mental health professionals to foragers, nature enthusiasts and curious newcomers to the fungal world.\n\nShe leads immersive foraging experiences designed to empower participants to confidently identify medicinal mushrooms, understand their ecological roles and therapeutic potential, and appreciate the profound relationships fungi form with people and the natural world.\n\nAt the heart of her work is a passionate belief in reconnecting people with nature's edible and medicinal resources, honouring both the science and the spirit of the fungal kingdom.",
