Sack o shrooms

Mushroom season continues; it's not a barn stormer though nor is it a damp squib. If you're after some fungi treats you needn’t look too far or too hard, that said, they're not going to jump out at you so you still need to put some work in, and if you do, and you're lucky, you'll be rewarded. Over our walk I collected a medium sized pouch worth (enough for mushroom/egg butty, and for three A3 sheets drying), easily leaving behind more than I cut; they're nice eaten fresh, although their real value flavour wise is when they're dried and added to soups, stews etc. There's never a guarantee as to how long or how bountiful a mushroom season will be; I'm just grateful for whatever nature gifts me, and try and use said gifts to best effect.
