Last Thursday's basket. Differing that day from the week before by including chanterelles, bay bolete, gyroporus cyanescens.
A small but tasty haul a fortnight ago; (orange birch bolete, brown birch bolete, giant puffball, small puffballs, russulas, a cep, parasol mushrooms, amethyst deceivers.)
Blackberries, mulberries and walnuts from Tony's garden. Mulberries, blackberries and some windfall apples made the best crumble I have ever tasted.
Giant puffballs as big as footballs, half eaten by deer.
My newest discovery, gyroporus cyanescens. A buffish pale bolete that cuts or bruises bright blue, good to eat. I now realise that it was the first bolete I ever found when I was 17, in sandy soil at a Bournemouth golf course, before the hobby took hold and the Latin names of fungi started popping into my head unbidden.
