Now I could reflect on this walk with much relish and give lots of details about the whole experience. But I think for the sake of preserving some of natures fine food which we foraged with great excitement, I think it best I don't give the exact coordinates of where we found the rings of field mushrooms.
Suffice to say we met up at Birling Gap and walked across the windy fields to Crowlink, back through the village of East Dean and popped into see the workforce of Beachy Head Brewery wiping sweat from his brow, whilst washing the next batch of casks ready for the a brew of 'legless rambler'.
Our condition was far better than the state of this aptly named brew, of which nothing was happening in empty vats.
The skies were mackerel clouded as we returned to our cars and compared our pickings of mushrooms. Probably in excess of 5lbs of mushrooms were picked in as many minutes. Now into the recipe books to find appropriate recipes.
