A good year for mushrooms

They seem to be everywhere this year.  Unfortunately I never quite have the nerve to pick and eat any.  A far cry from when I was a teenager living in West Cumbria right out in the countryside.  Gypsy boys used to come to the door with baskets of vast field mushrooms the size of saucers and we used to buy them, fry them in butter and eat them in huge quantities.  We never thought that any of them might have been poisonous.  Obviously they weren’t poisonous or I wouldn’t be here writing this now.
