Haha.. Glad you are happy with them, though they are a tad heavier when still wet. Usually you can tell if they are ready to use straight from the tree by how heavy they feel. :thumbup:

I found a small area in my local woodland where they grow. First time I've ever seen them round here so I'm quite happy that I've got a good supply. As long as the local vandals don't destroy them all like they seem to have done with most of them.

I found one on some dead ash in my garden this weekend!! I've got some other dead branches as well. Any way of encouraging them to grow on the other branches so I have my own supply?

they appear to spore so would stick some logs with cramp balls in with other ash logs and let us all know what happens, I have some infected logs under a bush in the back garden that still produces 'fruit', if you have some already the question is 'how many do you need?'

I've put the branches together, got one chunky branch that I reckon would be perfect to grow them on. Only got one cramp ball so far, can you ever have too many...
