Mushrooms!

gozunda · 20-08-2018 4:06pm #1

I don't think I've seen such an abundance of mushrooms in years. They're everywhere!

Anyone else fields coming down with mushrooms?

Same here.
Even fields just reseeded this year have mushrooms.

It's an exceptional year on them.

It's a sign of healthy soil.

CHOPS01 · 20-08-2018 11:02pm

Only place i have them is on a spot that cattle trampled back to just bare clay during the drought.

Danzy · 20-08-2018 11:41pm

Best crop in years.

Iodine1 · 21-08-2018 12:11am

Yes, noticed them scattered around this evening. Must be the wet after the heat!

giveitholly · 21-08-2018 12:40am

Seen them in a field this evening that I never saw them in before

L1985 · 21-08-2018 12:28pm

It's weird here as we are having them in fields we never had them and they aren't in fields they usually are. One field was insane with the amount-we have some happy neighbours now as well! Wouldn't have a hope in getting through them ourselves.

arctictree · 21-08-2018 2:18pm

None here (Wicklow), but then ground is as dry as a bone.

Pixelbastardo · 21-08-2018 2:22pm

Magic?

White Clover · 21-08-2018 2:37pm

Loads here too, in almost all fields.

Gravelly · 21-08-2018 4:41pm

Same here, seeing them in fields that never had them before.

White Clover · 23-07-2019 10:51pm

A good few mushrooms around this evening. They're popping up everywhere and growing like.........well, mushrooms!

Yup. Got a few here too. Must give a good look tomorrow

rubbledoubledo · 03-07-2020 6:00pm

Any one come across mushrooms. They are out already. Must head off in the morning to look. See them from the motorway yesterday evening near Roscrea. With the rain now and ground is warm ideal

endainoz · 03-07-2020 6:10pm

Yeah spotted a couple today alright, bit early but a good sign all the same.

Ya good sign ok and so early

High bike · 03-07-2020 7:34pm

Picked a few the other evening and came home delighted with myself only to find they were full of maggots.Must be the wet weather as they were nice fresh one

Lovely, I may never eat a mushroom again!

farawaygrass · 03-07-2020 7:47pm

Was picking them early last week. Was thinking it was very early for them

03-07-2020 8:03pm

I associate mushrooms with Autumn, I note loads of Autumn berries out as well.

El Vino · 03-08-2020 12:35pm

Any one spotted any this year so far? Nothing much in this part of Tipp. Might be a little early I guess.

rubbledoubledo · 03-08-2020 3:33pm

No they were out in places a month ago. I got nothing myself yet. See them from the motorway just before the Roscrea slip road. That was early ok but this is the time for them now

patspost · 30-09-2020 5:09pm

I haven’t seen any mushrooms yet this year.
Have others seen them?

Is it too late?
I was looking in S Galway.

August is the month of mushrooms, maggots and mastisis

I got the mastitis and maggots but no shaggin mushrooms.

dodie · 10-10-2020 1:22pm

I have been on the lookout for field mushrooms this year 2020 but nothing. Am I too early. When do you start looking?
Just read the dates on previous posts. We’re they really around in July. Oh well. I thought October &#55357;&#56866;

Thread is bringing back childhood memories of shopping bags full of collected mushrooms going on to a frying pan with butter and pepper.

Happy days.

Myself and brother used pick a couple of stems of Ribwort plantain and thread them through it. Used to be able to carry 4 each home. Our mother thought us this. Didn't wash them straight on the pan.

rubbledoubledo · 11-10-2020 12:41am

Yes that’s how we bring them home same way when we were young. Fields were littered with them years ago. Yes they were out very early this year. But very scarce. See them from the motorway.

gozunda · 23-07-2021 1:03am

Anyone seen any mushrooms out to date?

I reckon the present heatwave will push out any mushrooms by several weeks at least

Anto_Meath · 23-07-2021 2:04pm

Yes I have seen a few alright, I would guess if you had a good heavy shower of rain there would be loads of them.

White Clover · 23-07-2021 3:21pm

Saw them in a few fields last weekend.

Base price · 12-08-2021 5:37pm

Plenty of fresh mushrooms growing this morning. I picked a good few and they were on the pan with salt and pepper within 10 mins, yum.

Reminds me of when I was young, bring into grandmother to have with boxy and egg

see bits growing but think they’re toadstools

rubbledoubledo · 07-08-2022 4:01pm

Any one see mushrooms in the fields now

Base price · 07-08-2022 4:14pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119441369#Comment_119441369

Haven't seen any yet.

magicbastarder · 07-08-2022 4:18pm

have seem some glorious examples on tree stumps in the last couple of weeks, not sure of the variety though.

Say my name · 07-08-2022 4:36pm

https://www.boards.ie/discussion/comment/119441369#Comment_119441369

Yea there's a few out in the fields now.

Silverdream · 07-08-2022 9:07pm

None around me yet. I'd love a few fresh one to fry. I thought after the wet spell we'd have a flourish of them but I think the days may be too warm yet

Danzy · 07-08-2022 9:11pm

This week will be bad for them but the reduction in fertilizer should see more of them in time.

mr.stonewall · 07-08-2022 9:13pm

Had a few at the start of the week there. All the rain and heat in the ground. A bit of home grown steak and field mushrooms, hit the spot on Wednesday

rubbledoubledo · 07-08-2022 10:15pm

Just got one today 😟 only. All the slurry and fertilisers are killing it now. How I would love a bowl of them now. They will become a thing of the past

RockOrBog · 09-08-2022 8:38pm

Picked a few of them earlier and fried them up but I'm not sure tbh, the dragon I met 2 hours later told me they were grand though.

rubbledoubledo · 10-08-2022 3:19am

😂😂

tabby aspreme · 10-08-2022 7:13am

Probably too dry for them, they need a night's rain, haven't seen any yet

Say my name · 25-08-2022 6:03pm

Clearest sight of a mushroom ring.

Fertilising benefits are clearly seen in the grass. Makes p and k more available as well as the N from the fungi itself.

Remind you of edible ringworm. 🤣

Mushrooms!
