Mushroom collecting baskets

[thelawnet]

Any recommendations? I bought one from the local no-name general junk shop, but the handles are stiff and I would prefer something a bit easier to carry.

You need what's called a 'trug' - have a google.

I have a couple of baskets, one deep, one shallow, that came from "grocery/wine gift" items. Neither had handles but I did a bit of "Heath Robinson" on them with wire coat hangers and a bit of string wrapping to make the handles. I take the shallow one usually for specimen until (if) I find a good haul! A bit of "creative folding/snipping" on one of those "free" cardboard supermarket 6 wine bottle carriers (and add a few pierced holes to the bottom) will also serve the purpose, IMHO
