We spent the first 2 weeks of October picking Winter Chanterelles in our lovely home from home in West Sweden, and they’re dried and ready to take to our stockists now we’re back in the UK. Autumn is of course peak season for funghi so do come along to one of our events if you haven’t already, and taste for yourself how much more flavour dried wild mushrooms have compared to the fresh cultivated varieties. Here’s a list of where we’ll be over the next few weeks:
