Wet around here. Oddly so. Rarely rains like this in Cambridgeshire.

So that means we may be ever so lucky with mushrooms this year, a bit of rain early on can be great for them.

Anyone finding much yet? Chanterelles should appear any day now, if you have them in your parts.

We think we have come across some oyster mushrooms in a couple of places recently, would that make sense?

Took the surrogate mutt to one of our preferred sites on Sunday but not a sausage. Nor a mushroom. TD had bacon sandwich for breakfast though.

We've had loads of rain over the last week or so, and it is still quite warm. Lots of mushrooms coming up along my main dog walk. Saw my first cèpes (what are those called in English?) the other day, but sadly the slugs had got there first.

Cepes would be penny buns or ceps in English.

Oysters... Yeah, they might be around right now. But they're notoriously unpredictable, I've picked them both on midsummer day and midwinter day.

I've had no joy with any shrooms yet.

will be wandering round the horse field and woods at the farm park this weekend as there were some cracking ones there last year almost the size of a tea plate and very tasty they were

must remember to take my book with me

Found a perfect feild mushroom in the polytunnel today! Under the tomatoes. Now all I need is a pig in there... On second thoughts, not actually IN the polytunnel...
