Pies are the best.

I’ll take a pie over anything else.

Sweet or savoury, I don’t mind.

Hi Nik

We are fond of pies too. When I have a bit of time I want to try making our own pork pies.

You lucky man! Living as we do in the Newmarket area, we should be plumb in the middle of the best mushroom-growing part of the country, along with Newbury/Lambourn, Epsom and other great horsey areas, for obvious reasons. Trouble is, getting up at the crack of dawn is beyond our ken and capability!

It’s a great, romantic endeavour. We have a friend who lives on a big country estate like the one you described. It’s like a dream come true. Vast rolling acres, downs, secret paths – the lot.

We envy you!

since this is the only page with a google reference to ‘mushrooms’, this is where i’m leaving my message…
i’ve had a change from fruit collecting this weekend (apart from being unable to resist the final 6lbs of very ripe bullaces….the bush is now stripped). the damp weather, i thought to myself, should have led to fungi and i was right. boy! was i right.
off i trolled on my bike, down various local footpaths and bridleways which seem to form a network around here.(living on a country estate, there are loads of beautiful paths ‘tunnelling’ beneath overhanging hedges). i returned home with a couple of ‘boletus edulis’, a ‘russula cyanoxanyha’ and a few ‘horse mushies. these were duly fried lightly in butter and eaten ‘en toast’.
but was i satisfied? you bet not! it was a lovely autumn saturday and the disappointment of england’s latest football match was 3hrs away. so off i trolled, this time in the other direction, along other greenways. picked the 6lbs of bullaces, so i at least had something to show for the trip and then found three huge horse mushrooms beside the track. they were at least 6inches across (honest guv!). so i was happy as i set off ‘the long way round’ for home.
then, as i was passing a wooded field boundary strip, there they were! the afternoon’s ‘raisin debts’. a ring about 50ft in circumference of buttons and 2inch ‘flats’….Mine, all mine.
but what to do with them all? soup? ketchup? freeze them? all too much faffing about compared to simply threading them onto strings, about a dozen on each of ten strings and hanging them in the airing cupboard. they’ll be done in a few days if all goes well, then it’s ‘the cottage smallholder slow cooked steak and kidney pie’ with rehydrated home-dried suffolk (not potobellini) mushrooms sometime this winter.
