No-one in the woods today, hardly suprising with the heavy rain. Plenty of mushrooms though, winter chanterelles everywhere, also a few chanterelles, hedgehogs and wood blewits. Garry

Thetford forest - 75000 acres or 110 square miles ,it can take longer than 15 yrs to find chanterelles if you have'nt got the knowledge of how to look where, what soil, trees, what season ,thats where the skill is !!!
