Hi folks.
After a particularly crap day at work, there is no better way to relax and unwind than heading off out for a leisurely foraging walk.

We had intended to do some medicinal plant foraging and videoing for my website, however, that idea soon flew out the window when I came across these beauties.

A full troop of St George's Day mushrooms (Calocybe gambosa).

Think I'm going to have to get myself out of the gym and into the great outdoors and find myself a bunch of those.
What's the best ground conditions to find them?

These were found on a grassy field verge and along the side of hedgerow path that I go down a lot.

They do like long grass so it's always worth a peek over a fence in boundaried fields.
