Thank for the comment Ron. These recent shots were taken on Skye. Great place to visit, fairly quiet on the fungi, though!

I know exactly what you mean Tim, August was a very wet month up here and I was looking forward to getting out fungi hunting but had to wait for a dry day. September is the opposite, totally dry until today and it has been non stop, so hopefully the next few days should see the fungi sprouting again.

Good evening, Ron. I am sure your rain will come back to fetch the fungi out again! We have had plenty of the wet stuff, but i have been too busy to get out for a proper forage. I am missing the excitement of finding mushrooms!! Sounds mad if its not your cup of tea, but i am sure you know what i mean!!

It seems to be a good year for the cep up here Tim, must be all the rain we are having. I have seen hundreds of small ones, which disappear by the next day, probably deer eating them. I think this lot was left alone as they were growing beside the forest track.

Hi Ron. Looking very good for fungi round your neck of the woods. Those boletus edulis look absolutely fab, and to have so many in one area!! I have only found a couple this year and they were well past their sell by date!!
-
Yes, i read their posts about eating them but i am not mad keen!!! Give me a Boletus edulis or badius anyday!!

Hi Tim, Nick Cantle and Cybershot cooked some said they were nice. I think you need to boil them and throw the water away, not too sure though. Good Luck anyway. Keep me informed , I may even try them.

Thanks for the comment on the fungi, Ron. This was taken a couple of weeks ago in Gisburn forest and like yourself i was falling over blushers!!! One day i maybe tempted to eat one ( well cooked , of course), but i have my doubts about them!!

Thanks for the comment on Finesdale water picture. It is a nice quiet place, but on the moors just after this picture was taken the rain was horizontal and visibility was down to about 10m. Thank the lord for maps and a compass! The map has seen better days now i'm afraid as it got wiss pet through and blown to shreds by the wind!!

Quite true, Ron ,quite true!!
