No-one in the woods today, hardly suprising with the heavy rain. Plenty of mushrooms though, winter chanterelles everywhere, also a few chanterelles, hedgehogs and wood blewits.

Thetford forest - 75000 acres or 110 square miles ,it can take longer than 15 yrs to find chanterelles if you have'nt got the knowledge of how to look where, what soil, trees, what season ,thats where the skill is !!!

you are pretty safe then bubble its funny what you can find on the net though. I found a geotagged photo of where someone found hedgehog mushrooms - thats basically the long+latirtude of the exact spot....
