Same problem here, not a single apple.

| Well, I have just managed to catch it in the greenhouse and rid it of its head. Hopefully, it was only one Starling. |

I do love chanterelles. Never been fortunate enough to forage them but occasionally, I do buy them if they don't look too past their prime.
