anyone else on here pick mushrooms?
I went for a wander yesterday and got a huge boxful
some ceps in great condition, and some other boletus.
also got some of my favourite- beefsteak fungus

i had to leave the woods earlier than i would like, only covered a 10th 🙁 going back down there now
any tips on drying?

Last August I picked loads of ceps and hedgehog fungus.hardly anything around this year as its been so dry. Whereabouts are you? Maybe I'll give my local patches a check over next week. Most years round here its late September into October that things really get going.

I've already hatvested some from my lawn. And very nice they were as well.

Is autumn early this year? I've noticed some leaves a-yellowing and a falling conker bounced off my helmet as I rode under the tree yesterday.

Need to go and check my chanterelle spots - the recent bit of rain may have kick started things.
