Influencers urged to leave mushrooms in Epping Forest alone (www.standard.co.uk)

Social media influencers and other visitors to Epping Forest are being urged to leave the wild mushrooms untouched.

The City of London Corporation, which manages the park in north London, has warned against picking the fungi - an act which is strictly banned and illegal under forest bylaws.

It comes amid reports of content creators and social media users posting videos of foraging mushrooms, inadvertently encouraging others to do the same.

Just ensure they eat every single one they forage.
