Mushrooms, very unpredictable things, i pick a lot, and never over pick any one area and some years there are tuns about and the next year when I thing it's been the perfect spring or the summer weather been perfect for a good season nothing., who knows, just pick them when the chance presents itself up North with Acid soils or down South perhaps with a lime rich geology and climatic variations thereare pethaps to many variables, good luck though.

Having just read the thread, I was checking people's locations because fungi growth is governed by climate and humidity. As the cramp balls (fruiting body) develop quickly, maybe this season of warm and damp has brought them to areas where they don't normally thrive?
I'm right down south and as soon as I see the fungus on the large Ash stems I have lying on the ground for firewood, I start to fret. The fungus turns the wood very spongy.
Plenty on the birch around peterborough area. PM me and we can trade something.
I can get loads of these. Normally have to dry them out before they are usable.
