Fungi don't read the books and can fruit at unusual times. I have found boletus edulis and various Leccinum species in early May, but haven't found any boletes this year yet.

P.S- Once I find my footing at home (Before Autumn) I'll check out the Norfolk Fungus Group and see if any cogs are turning. If not, I might try and oil a few people  If that doesn't work, Suffolk Fungus Group here I come |

Possibly it would be worth starting a thread on "out of season funghi", further proof of global warming perhaps, especially after the heatwave today!!
I'm meltiiiiiiing!! |

I'd be up for that thread, as long as it doesn't gradually degrade into another pointless debate about global warming | | |
