Had a great day on Dartmoor with my Dad and Brother on another edible mushroom hunt.
We got away from our Dad for an hour to our secret spot to pick this lot!
Awesome looking wax cap (I think) I thought I'd share. It even has that classic liberty cap shape
I hope everybody is having a great season!

I've been mostly finding sun dried and small fresh ones in Wales. I think there's a lot of small ones at the moment as there hasn't been much rain the last week and it's been warm again. It looks like rain is coming next week and the temps are dropping which should bring out a big flush, then I suppose it'll start tapering off as we'll be heading into November. I think it's been a great season so far, I've never seen so many! 
Whereabouts in wales ? Have you found any in the previous week's up until.now ?

People saying they've been finding mainly small ones , I found a place the other day which was amazing , they were just everywhere andi found some real big ones there too. It seemed like nobody knew about this field although just a few seconds drive up the road people were walking around picking them quite obviously, one guy was just walking around with a bag and filling the bag lol but this place I found was amazing I couldn't believe it.
The place I found was public land but No1 was there at all, only saw 1 person walking their dog the whole time.
Here's some pics

Second trip and another good day I can't believe how many are out. I got bored and gave up counting at 2800 but still carried on picking. Then got bored of picking and walked passed hundreds on the way back to the car.
Total over 3000 shrooms and over 1kg in weight.

Hi I just count as I pick them, i count to hundred and put one in a different pocket every hundred then count them at the end of the walk. I deffinately Wouldn't be counting up to 2800 one at a time hahaha.
I'm in Lancashire only covered about a 1/4 of the field and only been to one of my fields, there are literally thousands out and about. Not bad for 3hours picking.
Where abouts are you?

So far I've found 8 in a field that I found 3 in a couple of years ago, so I think I need to find some new hunting grounds!

Whereabouts in wales ? Have you found any in the previous week's up until.now ?
This was around Snowdonia, I've only been here a few days so not sure about the last weeks.
I'm not so sure about the size depending on temps and rain now, I went out today and found loads of chunky ones, it seems to depend on the grass, if the grass is short then they tend to be smaller.
Well done on your find in the Peaks and thanks for sharing the pics.

How do you even go about drying that many at a time? Newspaper all over the house?
