One of the earliest of the edible wild fungi . Very good , distinctive flavour .
Quite easy to identify but you should still do your homework and be cautious , as always with these things .

Did anybody find any (or morels)?

I have never managed to find St George's in this area . As you probably know they favour the margin between short pasture and deciduous woodland . The fields around me are mostly long scutch & rushes bordered by forestry pine !
I have never managed to find Morels anywhere !! --- Much to my frustration . Plenty of False Morel / Helvella , tho' , so novices should take all the usual precautions with their identification .
I'd like to try impregnating some of the conifer stumps in the now flattened forest . I have seen ads for fungi which will break down the wood quite quickly and are supposed to be edible too . I don't know why I have my doubts about that claim Laughing

. Has anyone tried this type of thing ? I will check out the specific name(s) if this thread looks like going any further .

Nice Hegehog Fungi in the forest last year . One of the better edibles IMHO . Have you tried those ?
