By the 12th of september we were foraging in Western Asturias for Juan´s favourites,Lactarius. Over the mountains down in Leon,they don´t start getting these until well into Octobre so we were eager to get into our old hunting-grounds among the pines.
But by the beginning of October things changed.The first two weeks with baskets full of Deliciosus, Semisanguiflous and others which are all edible, but not being mycologists we are not sure on the species.
Then,the weather changed from cool rainy days to warm and humid and we began to find carpets of mushrooms full of bugs and creepy-crawly things.The same happened with Boletes and Russulas,but anyway in Asturias with breathtaking views,impressive woodlands,wonderful food and great company, who can complain?
In the 3rd part,i´ll tell you about Novembre and December,the best for foraging and time-out to get on with preserving with several new and unusual recipes.
