Anybody found this absolutely delicious mushroom (the word mushroom comes from the word mousseron) - one of the best!
Bon appetit

We have found and eaten lots of these in England, but have never found it here in lower Normandy. We always found it on chalk in England, usually  from St George's day until mid-May.

we live in Leicestershire, next to a pub - been gathering loads from the lawn at the side of the car park over last few years. I used to find them near our home in the Jura mountains in Switzerland when I was a child. A few years ago I found a huge ring in the Swiss alps, 3rd week in June, at about 1200m- the 3 of us filled our backpacks but had to live most behind - we cooked for everybody back at the B+B- feast had by all, except one english lady who just wouldn't trust us!
