A MUSHROOM and toadstool hunt is being held at a Teesside forest next week.

The Forestry Commission and Redcar and Cleveland Borough Council are inviting people to come face-to-face with fungi at Guisborough Forest and Walkways Visitor Centre at Pinchinthorpe at 1pm on Sunday, October 9.

Forest ranger Deborah Jefferson said: "This is the perfect outing for anyone who doesn't know their stink horn from their scarlet elf cap."

The walk costs £2 per person and lasts for two hours. Bring walking boots and waterproofs.
