Now that the Mushroom season is nearly upon us and i do eat a lot of them because they are usualy free my OH does the mushrooms in a caserole dish in microwave in milky water for about 7 or 8 minutes and with the left over juice adds some cornflower until you get the right thickness it's gorgeous i hope you people that are mushroom lovers enjoy this was a recipe out of my Mothers head many years ago jacob

I've always thought that mushrooms were most prolific in the autumn (always too timid to collect my own though!)????? Dim question, but how long does the season last?

Two years ago i picked the first one the last week of may and picked right through untill october last year i did not find any untill september but no two years are the same but as a added bonus the mushrooms in the two fields that i walk round are the big horse mushrooms any thing up to 10 inches across the juices in them are to die for when done in the microwave they just fit on a round of toast jacob

Sounds lovely, remember my great uncle going out and picking them for breakfast when I was a kid but have no idea what type they were or what time of year it was.
