They dry very well too. |

| This rain is finally kicking things off. Not many CEPs yet - hopefully still to come. But amazing year for Cauliflower fungus. Normally only see one every couple of seasons - but seen loads this year. ... |

| Interesting observations - speaking personally, it's been the most spectacular year for Ceps for many years. Not much in the way of other shrooms (except other boletes). Last two or three years have b ... |

| Interesting - straws in the wind pointing to an odd season. I'm going to continue to keep an eye on my shroom spots over the next few weeks to see if anything changes. |
