We always found it on chalk in England, usually  from St George's day until mid-May. regards Lisa    Report

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!    Report
