Early autumn is usually the best time to find mushrooms, especially on warm days after some rain.
But you really need to find someone who knows a lot about mushrooms before you start eating them, I.e. go foraging with an expert. They’ll teach you what is safe and what must be avoided. Often the latter can look very like the former, which is where expertise comes in very very handy.

In the Peak District these days and I gather it’s a good hunting ground for lots of types including liberty caps. Not really into getting mangled these days but could be a laugh.
What time of year is generally peak mushroom?
There are a few poking through on my usual dog walking route now including this. Anybody know what it is?
