Hurrah! Winter is done and spring is here. I don’t usually put much effort into mushroom foraging in spring but this year I’m keener than mustard. So I had a good look around in a prime location – a riding paddock strewn with wood and bark chippings. Two good habitat factors: dung and rotten wood. Found three different species, which is pretty good for a quiet month like May.
