This is true, it is (another) year of mushrooms. Last weekend 9.5 kg

about a half hour. Too many mushrooms...

Emery! I didn't see your reply until now ...?!? You so so so lucky. I
can smell them from here ...


Ditto. I confess I gave up on urg for some time, and probably won't be
following closely here now either.

Last year was the same, we put up loads and loads. Sadly the local
woods here in Normandy are now filled with commercial pickers from
far away... Lucky they don't know the secret spots!

Under oaks was the place when I was little. What do you do with your
surplus? Do you conserve them? Or just eat them all untill you all had
enough?


Oaks, but mixed forest too. We freeze cepes either uncooked, sliced and
laid flat, or cooked in 300-500 gm sacs.

There are far too many to either eat or pick and process. Yesterday
we did chicken livers with cepes, took 15 minutes to pick a kilo. My
son wasn't done walking so we just admired without touching. They
are everywhere.

And now, coprin chevelu by the bucket in the front yard, sigh.

bye,
