This years late summer/autumn mushroom season has been fair, I've seen good showings of Oyster, Wood Blewits and Parasols amongst others. I've gathered plenty of Ceps too, though leaving ample for the forest dwellers. I've also got a good quantity dried to use through until next season; dried Ceps last well, 2 or more years easily. Today though it was the Hedgehog mushroom, Hydnum repandum, which filled my gathering sack. I do favour the Hedgehog and although a lot had gone over there were still ample for collection. Easy to spot and hard to misidentify, having neither gills, nor sponge, rather spines, they are always welcome in any fungi hunters basket.
