SUMMARIZING 2013-SECOND PART.

Septembre was a great month,one of the best for years! By the 10th of Sept we were over in Western Asturias getting our oldfavourites Lactarius Deliciosus-Saffron milk caps,a beautiful sight to see in a middle of nowhere pine-forest.The area called Los Oscos is out of this world,we only see animals,an odd cattle-farmer,shepherd or hunterand no mushroomers-don't tell anyone!

We don't sell mushrooms,friends are always pleased to have them ,oftenin exchange for fruit  veg and wine etc,so all in all,everybody's happy.A very busy month also making chutneys,pickling onions and freezingmushrooms and a long etc.

Also in the woods we began to find Amanita Rubescens-The Blusher( Careful with this,must be well cooked before use),on open grazing-ground were the first Macrolepiota Proceras-Parasol,almost my favourite-always battered or stuffed in the oven,some Coprinus Comatus-Shaggy Ink Cap-pick and cook in the day,Assorted Russulas,delicious,Boletes of course,most for drying and freezing for Xmas,and last but not least,Cantharellus Cibarius-Chanterelle for  my tradionalhome-made liqueur.

October and Novembre were also full of good vibrations,visiting otherprovinces south of here,standing out trips to visit P in Burgos,getting reallygood mushrooms and seeing how she makes  different mushroom jams.Back in Asturias we were usy right up to Xmas getting Tricholoma Portentosum-the dingy one and Trich. erreum-the grey one i love these Winter treats with assorted dishes and if there's any room left in the freezeri freeze up a few packs.Well,i think i've bored you enough for now,so good hunting and cooking anddo keep in touch.
