I have it on good authority from Paolo Arrigo of Seeds of Italy that now is the perfect time to find porcini (Penny Bun, Cep) in the woods. The moon is right, the temperature has dropped and there has been a reasonable amount of rain, so fungi are popping up everywhere. Apparently the Italian community are out en masse harvesting them – but follow their example and only take what you need.
