viking Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 Make sure you take a big basket because there won't be MUSHROOM in a small one. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<looks for coat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete_jim Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 Met a chap on Saturday evening, he was just back from a funghi foray somewhere near Ladybower. He had found a huge 'cauliflower' something or other it was the size of a rugby ball, also two fantastic 'Ceps', the flat bits were the size of dinner plates. I was dreaming of them fried in some nice bacon fat...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxman Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 Loxley Common has lots of Orange and Brown Birch Boletes but you need to pick them early in the morning before the slugs get them. I've had Hedgehog fungus (Urchin of the Woods) plus Amythist Deceivers from Glen Howe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
