    I've heard that this year is quite possibly going to be an almost dead year for out door shrooms. Its been way too dry and now there are going to be hard frosts, possibly killing off the spores before they get a chance to do anything. A shame really but, well, not a lot you can do.

    Hmm.. well, a few of my mates recently went to the Welsh mountains, and a week later came back with well over 10,000 of the lil' buggers so I don't think it's all that bad. :p

    Very nice they were too!

    Funny enough today someone said to me that mushroom season is now but i wouldn't know which one's to pick and i'm nowhere near the welsh mountains.

    Hi Guys, Cheers for your replies, I do know what you mean, with it being dry then the frosts being quite heavy, normally with one heavy frost they don't re-appear and thats the season gone. Plue with evenings getting so dark it limits the seaching time available! Cheers guys, i will keep on looking!!
