my best ceps site is shroom free, there is no sign of anyone picking them and i would have expected them by now going by the last two years.
it was a bit dry over spring and summer but tis pretty damp now.
how are your ceps doing?

Apparently there's been some good flushes over on our side (or whatever close relative we call porcini) that have slowed down with dry weather in August, but some folks are starting to find them again now.
But I've never successfully found/identified them (or truly tried yet - next summer perhaps) |

I have found some boletes over the last few weeks, but they are not ceps. Not too sure what they are so never dare to eat them. |

basic bolete advice
as the chap says you are unlikely to die but you will regret a bad mistake.
is not red and does not stain blue will eliminate all the really nasty ones and a few edible ones.
rogers or phillips will help a definite id but the above will keep you safe. |

The ones growing in the wood stain blue, but I have never been able to identify them with absolute certainty. Therefore I don't eat them. |

best avoid any that stain blue unless you are very sure and quite bold.  |

i got two yesterday from the second best site  and left the one that was half eaten by slugs to spore 
hopefully that heralds the start of the cep season at last and the best spot will follow on soonish. |

6 kg is very impressive. What will you do with them all? |

eat a few cooked from raw but most get sliced and dried.
a few slices soaked in boiling water then ground to a pulp add a super level of flavour to stews , casseroles, sauces etc etc etc .
in combo with anchovy and shreds of mummified pig the depth of flavour that can be put into dishes is amazing.
at about £100 kg dried they would be outside my budget but a few hundred quids worth for the cost of a couple of quid in leccy to dry em makes them a larder staple. |

Sounds as if you are going to be in ceps for the whole year all ready. I like the occasional mushroom of some sort, but not dried every day all year round.  |
