23/07/2013 July Mushrooms !

 

It’s been a funny year !

until the end of June we were still lighting the fire in the evening, then from the 1st of July hot hot hotter….with of course thunder storms…..this brought mushroom as never seen before……giroles (chantrelles) and Ceps…….by the bucket full, people actually stopped looking for them as they had too many !!

As far as I know this one is just pretty, not edible, but if anyone knows different ?
