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?

Is that a grey cap or purple? The Amethyst Deceiver looks a bit like that but is unmistakably purple.

I've been out looking over the last few days. There are a few ceps around and plenty of other boletus. Also found a tawny grisette and a panther cap today. The former is worth finding, the latter is worth avoiding.

Grey.

Was chatting to a chap earlier who reckons it’s going to be a great year for all mushrooms. He said it was a bit early to be looking.
