i have found about 50 in a patch a few times , but my 3 patches could provide a haul like that over the season.

nice though, it will happen if you keep looking.
it usually happens when you have only got pockets rather than baskets:lol:

It may happen one day. At least you know what you are looking for.

I need to find exactly where it is but Sean has found a great spot in the New Forest, it's about time really, as I have complained before foraging has been remarkably bad since we moved down this way. I think when we were in Swindon there was little available but we were one of the few hedge botherers. In the forests its the opposite.

We have had blewits occasionally, but not very often.

the soil temp needs to be under 5 C for blewits to fruit

i had a patch that was at it's best with a surface frost.

I think we will be getting our first frosts in approximately 2 weeks.

We are getting some more fungi coming up. I need to have a good look to see which ones they are though.
