Ceps

I'm going to suggest that barring any surprise late flushes or the occasional rouge individual, the Cep (beletus edulis) season is over; around my roams at least. Of course I'll give my usual caveat that that's not to say they're not out in other places. Personally I've seen less than a handful of fresh Ceps pop up in over a week now; and I’ve been lookeding. So what's this season amounted to? Well, it's not been a bumper year though nor has it been a total washout either. Over the last few weeks I've collected enough for several tasty fresh mushroom brunches and an ample quantity to dry for soups and stews; which is always my primary goal. So you'll be hearing no complaining from me; I'm just grateful for what I've collected.
