Well, it took about 90 minutes to collect the winter chantarelles, but 3-4 hours to clean them. Finally finished and both the oven and a drying rack I've rigged up above the wood burning stove are full!

I'm not sure if this is the right place for my picture, but while enjoying more than 3 weeks holiday in Austria with most of the days sunny weather with blue skies, we found this little so called "mushroom house"

Black truffles are to die for. I had them at a restaurant in Provence ("Chez Bruno") and again in Italy (where they know how to do fillet steak properly).
