Today I hit the absolute jackpot: field mushrooms as far as the eye could see! Being on a bike has distinct advantages, including being able to look over the stone walls that line many of Aberdeenshire’s roads. Of course I still had to climb over said wall and then over barbed wire, but the riches that lay before me were too awesome to consider than an incumbrance.
Back home I cooked some for John and me. We liked them a lot, so we cooked some more! I’ve frozen the rest for a meal later in the week.
I’ve never found a field like today, with such an abundance of fungi. It’s as if the mushroom world, on the penultimate day of my challenge, is trying to persuade me to keep going!

I had a nice giant puffball find at the weekend too, though a bit annoyed with myself that I forgot they go ‘off’ very quickly and wasted some. With more regular mushrooms, I like to sun dry some (weather permitting) which has some nutritional benefits apparently.

I’ve also tried frying them in slices and then freezing them (with greaseproof paper between slices). This seems to work well.
