  1. Greetings from Narnia!

    We continue to find pinewood king bolete #mushrooms but they're still exceptionally rare and the aftermath of the nearly 4-month drought through the summer continues. Chance finds in our walks are rare and far between and only sparse secluded spots that we pinpointed the previous years remain loyal.

    But the word that they can be found had spread among Narnian people by now so the forests are full of frustrated foragers carrying empty baskets. Thing is, these are symbiotic mushrooms. They still persist underground in same locations they could be found the previous years but they're unlikely to produce fruiting bodies in abundance where their host trees struggled for so long and are still recovering from the stress of the prolonged drought. And that's regardless the spates of rain we had recently. So the chance of success can be evaluated from afar even just by visually examining health of their host trees.

    Saprophytic species can be found much easier however as they feed on decaying matter and those include some rather tasty members so just adjusting expectations and maybe expanding the list of sought after species a bit could let them avoid the occasional forager frustration in the future. Just a kind suggestion 😉

  2. Literally one step into the thicket next to a meadow and there it was... my first parasol mushroom of the year.

  6. Today's prize. I love these cauliflower mushrooms, they look like someone's brain escaped the confines of their skull and fell on the forest floor. They can be quite substantial, this specimen is about double the size of my own brain. Very good to eat, too.

  10. From the same walk in the woods. Besides picking loads of lovely bear leek, we also found a few morels, some medicinal herbs and generally had a really lovely time on a beautiful sunny day.

  14. We had our first fresh #mushrooms of the year for lunch yesterday. Couldn't find many of them, just the four because they prefer growing out of melting snow that we didn't have this early spring, but they are substantial and were healthy so we added a few young #asparagus spears and parsley greens from the garden to the meal and, together with a dandelion greens salad picked at the #forest margins, it was well worth the slightly frustrating weekend walk in the #woods.
