    Nice one! Is it already fall-like cold in your place? Here still mildly warm in the 20 C and up. But I wonder if is mushroom season already..we have to venture to the nearby woods and check :-) Posted one year ago

      Most days still get up to 18-22C, but we have had some chillier days and a couple frosts already. Problem is that it is super dry and I've seen less than half the mushrooms that I would normally see this time of year. Worst mushroom season in a long time. I'm living vicariously on everyone else's mushroom spottings this autumn! Posted one year ago
