The rapid alternation between bright sunny weather and sudden flash showers offers the perfect conditions for mushrooms. And the mushroom season here in Russia has begun in earnest! We are dining on delicious trompettes gathered from the woods near our dacha. Of course there are all kinds of ingenious recipes, but we like them just fried in butter, with a smidgeon of garlic and black pepper, and then served over slices of toast. It's still a little early for cepes, but we found a few, and have made a delicious soup with them. Hopefully it will be a fine mushrooms season with lots more cepes. I like to make them into a nice duxelles sauce and freeze them away for the winter

Are the mushrooms sprouting near you, Mr H? Which mushrooms have you been enjoying?

Here, the season for mushroom picking is at its best in September rather than July, Neil, but it can last into October and early November. Remember not to pick and eat any mushrooms which are ‘going off’, ahinton, since even though they are edible, they may cause an upset stomach.

It's best to avoid the kind above, too.
