I quite expect this was our last 'fresh' Cèpe omelet of the year. Our anticipated Autumn crop didn't materialise, other than just one or two stragglers.
From now on our mushroom omelets will be made with conserves; not that different, but they lack the thrill of the hunt.
There's always next year!

Another of your delectable fresh, local 'picked' meals. Pity these are finished. What's next from the woods, or will it be only haddock's from now on?
Stop it. You're making me hungry.
More sunshine this week, will that not make them grow again?
There are two much later mushrooms still to appear. The Wood Hedgehog, and the Trumpet of the Dead; both OK, but nothing like a Cepe.
Good!
It#s possible that a few more stragglers will pop up, but I doubt if we'll have a proper crop.
Where's the roast fowl?
I'm not quite sure why, but we haven't eaten a roast chicken for ages. Maybe we really are slowly becoming veggie!
Disappointing for you but I don't think you'll starve !!! haha !!! XXXX
It's difficult to explain the disappointment of a non-existent Cepe harvest. It is so much a part of local culture, that it is close to a disaster!
I try yo imagain the test of the Cepe, i think i can not.
It's something that is almost impossible to describe. But let me say that it is DELICIOUS.
Like Yael, I often wonder about how fabulous they must taste. For me it is the Shiitake but I have never hunted for them.
cheers, parsnip
I've only ever used dried Shiitake mushrooms. I don't imagine the grow around here; but who knows!
