Gifts from the woods.



We've had a few Girolles in the woods for a while, but yesterday morning was the first day that they've been dry, clean, and plentiful.

I've also found a couple of beautiful young Cepes, but I think they'd become confused by the weather. No-one else seems to have found any.

Girolle omelets are on the menu at lunchtimes, and a few find their way into various dishes in the evening. It is said that Girolles contain a natural 'antibiotic', so probably not a bad thing to eat with all the illness about; not that I've heard anyone suggest they can cure COVID-19.

  2. They look delightful! C19 is a virus so the best 'anti' thing to ingest would be an antiviral. Although i suspect if we ate foods that were good for us in amounts that were good for us as a general rule, it would allow our bodies' natural defences to work well, and that goes a long way, too.

  3. I have never heard of Girolles. I suspect it is a mushroom. Unfortunately I'm allergic to mushrooms, but know from earlier days that they are delicious. As for anti-viral foods, I DO love garlic!!

  4. We call them Chantrelles or I do. There are one or two soggy specimens about but I suspect I'll have to wait a few weeks and then compete with the slugs.

    1. Chanterelle is an alternative name, used mostly in the UK. Here they're not too troubled by slugs; it's the Cepes that they like the most.

  6. Lucky you. Not all mushrooms are equal. The Angel whose vision is 20/20 squared (by rights he'd qualify as a pilot or several) alerted me to . . . , don't ask, it's too painful. Anyway, let no one say that my pain threshold isn't high. He had spotted a mushroom, well hidden too, in the bathroom. Mushrooms clearly like dark, environment slightly on the damp side.

    Bon appetit,

    1. Many people are very suspicious of the best mushrooms, but will happily eat the bland white button mushrooms which are grown and sold everywhere. Such is life.
