Mushroom season

Yesterday we went mushrooming in Epping Forest.

We didnt find much to eat, but I was amazed how many different kinds of mushrooms there are when you start looking. We found at least fifteen different kinds. I will put some photos up.

We did get some Amethyst Deceivers which are edible, but there arent many of them and the River Cottage book suggests they are not a top mushroom but being pretty can be good fillers or with a nice saffron risotto.

We got lots of poisonous ones and a couple I really cannot figure out what they are.

a Plea for Butter

The one item we are struggling to locate a regular supply for within 100 miles, is butter. Please help! The butter we found so far is either made from the cream on the top of the Duchy Milk or else from a tiny place in sussex that we cant go back to for a while.

Why We Love Weeds

Plants for a Future are like me, advocates of weed gardening. Here's why: http://www.pfaf.org/user/cmspage.aspx?pageid=44 Things have been very intense for the past couple of years while we are setting up home but the garden is beginning to get some attention at last and some of the Goblin's fruits are being planted...so the blog will begin to revive this year.
