What a find! The first we found was a little way out from this hedgerow, a little small and not worth picking, but ever hopeful we looked about a bit more and spied this one nestling between the ripe brambles. Katie very proudly picked it and helped me make a big pot of wild mushroom soup.
Wild mushroom soup
1.5 lb of fresh wild mushrooms (i.e. whole of this monster!) sauteed in butter and olive oil with two finely chopped onions and some garlic and thyme. A bit of flour added along with nutmeg and seasoning. Liquid added in form of 3 pints of chicken stock and a glug of sherry. Just over an oz of dried ceps (porcini) added in and the whole lot simmered for 20 minutes or so before being biltzed with a hand blender and some Elmlea cream added to taste... enough to serve 6-8 people
