A fine basket of shaggy parasol mushrooms - generally agreed to be among the most delicious of all wild mushrooms: a simple fry-up in butter with salt and pepper produced one of the best panfuls of anything I have ever eaten.
Elderberries: these came from bush frequently fertilised by our late lamented Labrador, Jonesy. They're now brewing into a Jonesy Memorial brew. Elderflowers make one of the nicest cordials and elderberries one of the best fruit wines, though it's very high in tannin and takes ages to mature. Find a bush near you!
