Found a few chanterelles in the beech wood this afternoon, but I’m either too early or too late!

“T’was mirk, mirk night and nae stern light,
They rade through red blude to the knee;
For a’ the blude that’s shed on earth
Rins through the springs o’ that countrie . . . “

We have had an unusually prolific and varied crop of mushrooms on our lawns this week; I haven’t checked the woods yet for chanterelles. Last year, we had hardly any.
