    Glad to see this thread.

    My father (long dead) used to be a train driver and would often be rostered on the overnight mail train. One of my abiding childhood memories are of him arriving home around 7am, waking us all up and telling us he had spotted mushrooms blossoming in various fields along the train tracks and we'd pack up into the car with loads of shopping bags and go picking.

    We'd often pick so much that we'd call into family members on the way home dropping off bags of freshly picked mushrooms.

    When we'd get home we'd have the obligatory mushroom focused fry up (dipping white bread into the juice!!) and then my mother would make batches of mushroom soup which would be frozen and used over the winter.

    Happy days indeed.

    I've forgotten the rules of picking mushrooms but plan to go gathering with my own kids this year so hope this video is of some use to others like me who need a bit of advice or a reminder on how to do it both safely and successfully.

    --- The Year of The Mushrooms ---

    I recall one year in my teens, one field a mile from our house when crazy producing mushrooms for a forthright so. Why that field I don't know except there was sheep grazing in it unlike the surrounding fields. We took home buckets of them daily. They were the size of a closed fist upwards with pink gills. Totally delicious with a taste I can still remember, never tasted since, and can not be reproduced with anything one can buy in a supermarket.

    Never seen anything like it since.


    --- The End ---
