Madara Riley – Mushroom Maddie

On Facebook, you can find Madara Riley, a Latvian living in the United Kingdom, who is very passionate about mushroom picking. She shares her stories, experiences, knowledge, and inspires others. Thank you, Madara, for allowing us to include her story and pictures on our website!

In Madara’s words: “Foraging is in my blood since I was a child, it’s free therapy that helps me feel closer to my roots, to remind me of core memories from childhood, when we were out mushrooms picking with family, it keeps me active and helps maintain knowledge of how to prepare wild foods.”
