West Yorkshire Location help please

[Gupps]

Hi, its been since last autumn when i visited here.

Ive only been at the whole fungi thing for 3 years and im afraid to say im loosing my heart in it due to a frustrating few years hunting edibles.

Ive only ever dared hunt for the boletes as my belief is there are very few nasty ones. Having said that last year I picked and ate a whole load of amethyst deceivers and oysters.

I dont know if anyone rembers my post from last year, but i finally found 2 ceps last year, only to return to the spot where i had picked them and find a memorial bench erected on concrete slabs right at their location (unlucky or what).

Ive trauled the fungii records for my area and found little mention of boleteus edulis (guess people guard their secrets).

I am aware cep locations are closely guarded secrets but I thought id throw this out their one last time, in the hope someone can throw me a bone to any locations in the west yorkshire area.

Im afraid the good old intergib is throwing no locations up and hours of dragging my missus through overgrown forests, blindley hunting and finding nothing but the odd red cracking bolet is taking its toll..

Thanking you in advance

Good luck with your hunt Gupps, I'm afraid I don't know the Yorkshire area - but I was wondering whether the mycelium will still grow under the concrete base of the bench and in seasons to come you might still find the ceps around the area? I hope so.

Happy hunting!

Doubt the mycellium are still present the area paved is about 20 foot by 20 foot, theyve also put a path into the bench and erected picnic tables

Such a shame when nature can't just be left alone. FIngers crossed there are more in the area.

One thing you might want to do is search the list of Woodland Trust woods in your area, sometimes they remark in the description if there are a wide variety of fungi species present.

I wouldn't say that Cep locations are highly guarded secrets. B. edulis is common- it's just a matter of finding a correct habitat.
