Peaches and Mushrooms again!!

What a gorgeous day today, sunny and hot, so I spent quite a bit of time in the garden. I planted a peach tree earlier in the year in and it is doing well and has fruit on it, we will have to wait and see if they are any good. Had another successful mushroom foray the other day, couldn't believe how many there were and how obvious, as quite often you have to really search under moss and undergrowth.

I won't bore you with any more mushroom tales this year!!

Mushroom Hunting

With the weather having turned to torrential showers and bright warm spells over the last few days, it was an ideal day to go mushroom hunting, particularly for the chantrelle or girolle as they are otherwise known. So off I went and had quite a successful search, I found a couple of good patches and picked a few, but left the others for another day as they are still quite small.

They have a delicate nutty, sometimes fruity, earthy flavour and are just pan fried like a normal mushroom.
