Came across this precious fawn while foraging on Sunday. 😍 I found lots of mushrooms too but this was the highlight of the day!

Fiddelheads make a delicious consolation prize!

Happy Beltane. May your year be fruitful!

Morning dew on the hyphae. ❤️

I'm off to look for Morels, wish me luck!

Ready...Set...Go!!
The first two easy-to-identify mushrooms to fruit in our area are Morels and Peasants Backs. They can start around the end of April if the weather is warm but if it’s cool, they might not get going until early/mid-May. Morels can be hard to find. They have a short growing season and are very temperature sensitive. Last year was one of the best years for them that we’ve had in a while! Pheasant Backs make up for this by being plentiful, easy to find and having a long growing season. They are not as well-known as Morels, but are 100% worth harvesting. They are a fantastic meat substitute and make the best mushroom bacon!
