Yes the weather has turned warm and damp again, and the mushrooms are popping up all over, we've another 5 Parasol mushrooms in the courtyard, Ive picked two this morning, and then lo and behold our friends came over bringing a carrier bag full of field mushrooms from their Olive grove . Hmmm yum! Ive put a few of them to open freeze to experiment, but I'll make some quiches tomorrow I think, then maybe some mushroom soup... free food, just what I like...
