It's a late season down my way but the Ceps and Bay Boletes are just coming up.
I hauled in about 5kg of Ceps and 20 of Bays yesterday and the the airing cupboard now smells very fungy. Everything smells very fungy.
I have enough of them to last a while, so will only pick a meal's worth at a time until the Wood Blewetts pop up. yum!
We have loads of Parasol Mushrooms here at the moment, but very few boletus of any description. Not tried Wood Blewits before, what do you use them for?
Fly agarics taste awful and they upset your stomach, plus they make you behave like a lunatic! :shock:
Aparently, the trick is not to eat the fungus directly. The beserkers found that if they got the reindeer to each the fungus, then they drink their urine, they didn't get any of the sickness associated with them, just the hallucinogenic effects.
