I blame these idiot media people who keep telling everyone to get free food - out of supermarket dustbins, picking fruit of other people's trees and collecting wild mushrooms, garlic, horseradish etc!

I wouldn't eat them as they are more abundant in places where dogs foul. Plenty in local park.

Ask at your library if they know of anywhere local where you can go foraging with an expert. The Overall family are going on an organised mushroom picking trip this weekend.

You've pretty much missed the season for good mushroom picking. Mushrooms like mild and damp conditions and are best picked on drier days. Damp and wet days cause the mushrooms to go soggy and aren't at their best for eating.

We live in the Highlands and the best period for mushroom picking was mid September...it was Chanterelle, Porcini and Cep's galore!

If you're new to picking mushrooms, I highly recommend you do your research before even picking mushrooms, let alone eating them.
