Fabulous pics! My dried mushrooms jars are already full - mostly Ceps. Very Happy

I know, I need more jars. The airing cupboard is stinking of mushrooms.......

I have previously posted to this site as Slippery Jack but for some reason have been unable to access so have had to re-register. I too have found more ceps this year than I ever dreamt existed and have been searching the site, unsuccessfully, for succinct instructions on drying mushrooms: I'm sure there must be something somewhere and that my failure to find anything must be a result of my own technological ineptitude, just as my previous failure to find ceps probably resulted from looking in the wrong places - but I would be very grateful for any guidance either on where to find it (the guidance), or how to do it (the drying). I don't have an airing cupboard and it's getting a bit late in the year for sunny windowsills; I do have a gas oven with a "slow setting", (and room for my head if things get desperate - but I understand that natural gas won't do that sort of job).

Hm. Here our year so far is the worst I can remember for a long time. I'm jealously guarding (drying) every cep I find. I can still count them on one hand.

Trout fishing has been bad as well. We are now reduced to eating salmon Mad Mad Mad
