:yikes: Ruddy hell... that is some serious mushrooming there.
I wonder what they do with it all, is it commercial or do the preserve it all for personal use or what?

See, I wondered that also.
I'd hate to think people collect as much as they can and never eat it...
However, I get the impression in many other european countries they will certainly use it all.
I suspect they'd dry them if they are for personal consumption.
My girlfriends dad's friend(!!) is italian and collects many mushrooms and dries them.
There's reallythis many mushrooms in one spot/tree? I see the odd few.. But more than 100 in a spot. Seriously?
Almost certainly preserved or traded for something someone else has, out with the cities that is often the way around these parts.
*cough* Chernobyl *cough*
There is a joke in Lithuania, if not all of Eastern Europe upon seeing a large bit of veg/fruit that it must be from Chernobyl.

Wow!
There was me getting a bit pleased to see a single shaggy ink cap earlier today!
I haven't found one of those yet
But, I did find a bunch of huge parasols
Not THAT many though
Impressive shrooms indeed, but to be honest I'm more impressed with th3 pine nuts in pic #14 & #15.
Wow they are some seriously impressive mushroom crops! I've also never seen so many wild strawberries either, making me hungry just looking at it
I was out with my dogs th other day and came across a couple picking mushrooms. I went and asked them how they cooked them. They told me what they did, in very broken english. I then started looking for them myself and came across hundreds of penny buns, i hadn't noticed before.
A few years back I found a patch of shaggy parasol mushrooms so profuse that I am still using them in sauces and gravy's to this day. If I find a lot I always stick them in the dehydrator then store them in an air tight container, they will keep for years like this. I personally love foraging for mushrooms and not just the edible ones, photographing the poisonous ones rather than picking them.
Don't eat this one - but it is really beautiful

Nice, I'm waiting to find some more jews ears after peering down at a soup I had one day in a chinese noodle bar and recognising them - well, cloud ears, their equivalent.
and Parasols, one thing I want to know is just HOW do you distinguish between
Parasol - Macrolepiota procera
Shaggy Parasol - Chlorophyllum rhacodes
I think(!) -
the centre dimple is prevalent on the parasol and the shaggy parasols stain pink when cut (but are still edible)
also the parasol has a scaly stem and the shaggy parasol does not.
Also, there are these, but I don't believe we get these in the UK - but these ones are poisonous and produce a green spore print
Chlorophyllum molybdites
