I’ve caught a mushroom!
The Girlie and I went out mushrooming on Sunday…
We didn’t expect much but…
The Girlie did find a nice Cep…
Of course, I (mushrooming expert of Brittany, no less), found nothing at all!

A Mushroom Feast
I have got 2 (maybe 3, fingers crossed) new clients but, whenever we get a chance, the Girlie and I have been going mushrooming.
For intimate details you’ll need to take a look at www.MushroomDiary.com but these photos are just an appetiser to show you the sort of mushrooms we are finding.
The perils of Autumn…
I’m not the fastest of drivers at the best of time but in the Autumn I seem to slow right down.
But then, I’m not the only one….
Gertie again!
Well, Gertie seems to have been at it again!
We had some friends, Martin and Carolyn, round for a little mushrooming foray and Carolyn noticed something a bit strange behind the lilies!
Mountains of mushrooms!
The Girlie was rather keen to weigh the mushrooms that we picked on Saturday…
They came in at 1,5 kilos!
Not bad for a few hours work!
Not that wandering round the beautiful Breton countryside can really be called work…
Salade des Ceps
I’m not saying that we’ve got mountains of mushrooms but…
There do seem to be rather a lot in the kitchen, waiting to be eaten or preserved.
When Dave and Marnie (and daughter Holly), came round for dinner on Saturday I thought it would be nice to try a Salade des Ceps as a starter.
Mushrooms!
I’ve recently posted on my Mushrooming site…. www.MushroomDiary.com about the first decent mushrooming forays of the year.
Together with a glut of eggs (more of which later), we’re working hard to find new ways of cooking mushroom omelettes!
I know that you can’t tell from the photos but…
They don’t half taste good!
If you want to find out more, take a look at…www.MushroomDiary.com
But folks, please be careful….
If you’re planning to harvest some of these lovely mushrooms yourselves…
Just make sure you’re 100% sure about what you’re picking!
All the best

It’s raining!
It’s raining today because all week the weather has been good and thus, I had made plans to spend both Saturday and Sunday in the forest (trying to photo some of the newly born deer).
Thus, am stuck indoors.
Luckily, the postman has just been – with a present – The Encyclopedia of Fungi. Thank you Briony!
I am hoping that the weather is better tomorrow so that, armed with the new reference, I can go searching for some Pleurotus Ostreatus (Oyster mushrooms to you). There were some to the east of the forest about this time last year.
And, who knows, I might even see a baby deer!
All the best
