A Good Year for Boletes

I was just uploading a few Bolete photos for the Gallery and came across a reminder of what a good year can be like

Oh back in the season of '06

Wait, that's a hell of a lot of Boletes

Nice Mal. Want to send me the co-ordinates of your patch?

Just so you could take some photos of course Nick

I should try and establish my own decent patch. I never seem to find B. edulis. More of a B. badius patch man myself

Surely this can't be the appropriate collective term for a large number of boletes. A "heaven of a lot" of ceps perhaps?

When I lived over in Yorkshire I don't ever remember finding sites that produced this many ceps. If they were found in Yorkshire, as I am actually a true Yorkshire man currently living in exile (unlike Nick who is clearly an undeserving southerner), you could share your secret with me Mal, and I won't tell a soul... not even my good friends in the Mid-Yorkshire Fungus Group, promise.

Ken
With the chance to pick your fungi brain if you still lived in Yorkshire I would have been more than happy to take you round the site and we could even have a game of golf at the same time oops.
I have to pick them because others just ignore

or kick them over

and on one occasion a visitor broke of from his round of golf to get a box to collect (for his restaurant

)
