I love a little foraging at this time of the year.


I went for a quick reccy today at my Secret-Site though the weather's been a bit dry lately, so no show yet.


Last year I picked a few kilos of Bay Boletus in one afternoon, we dried & used them over the winter.



And if you happened to be listening to Radio 4 on Wednesday then you'll have heard Mushroom & Fungus expert Roger Phillips on You & Yours.


Have a listen here. It was very enlightening, if your curious about this kind of thing.


Also see link below for a free App, which i've yet to try in-the-field.

I highly recommend as it's a great day out and a strangely addictive pass time.


And remember there's only 5 that'll kill you.


Happy Hunting.

A bloke from my mate's cousin's rugby club ate some magic mushrooms once and thought he was an orange and then peeled his skin off with a knife.


True story.

I live in a sub-terainian bungalow (btw)


But joking aside a woman on the radio 4 clip tells how she ate the wrong thing. She was convinced it was a Puff-Ball and it turned out to be a young Flyagaric Toadstool.


"I could hear the birds feeding on the bird-table, as if they were right here next to me" she said of her auditory hallucinations.


Bless her, life will never be the same.

    • Thanks for the suggestions! If the Angel Oak is the pub on the edge of the Rye, it's probably not too far, but there might be more central (to East Dulwich) pubs to try first. No way will Nyge and I  ever  go to the Cherry Tree again, sorry. We had the most appalling Christmas Day meal there,   which cost us nearly two hundred pounds (for two people) without drinks. It was the only place within walking distance  locally which had availability that day, apart from the Plough (which ironically we wanted to avoid after previous bad experiences with the food  there). We did complain at the time, and were given a free bottle of wine (we don't often drink wine and were having beer with the meal) but we did not want to make a huge fuss and spoil other people's day as well.  Our detailed complaints in an email  were never properly addressed, and my last email to the manager was never answered.
    • Looking for an iPod - preferably a classic - with at least 60gb storage.  Anyone have one hiding in a drawer? Thanks. 
    • Sorry to have missed this one but hope to make the next.  Re suggestions, is the Angel Oak too far?  Or the Cherry tree
    • Not strictly a new place but new to me: stumbled across a fabulous cocktail bar at 210 Rye Lane - we loved the gorgeous, eclectic interior, they make any cocktail you can imagine and will be doing small plates. Think it's called XOTO? opposite the Tesco express at that end of Rye Lane.
