Morning temperatures dropped to three degrees as a weakened Hurricane Kirk arrived in the Czech Republic, bringing with it strong winds and rain showers.
Almost nothing flies to the light these nights. Only two species have arrived. But two brand-new ones! Udea ferrugalis, the rusty dot pearl, and Conistra vaccinii, the chestnut.
But a few days ago, before it got cold, mushrooms were growing everywhere. It was like a harvest, I was able to pick from the very best. I never saw something like that. Even in my garden several Lactarius deliciosus, the delicious milk caps, are growing. And I’m not going to lie, we have a freezer full of mushrooms.
