Washing them would make the problem even worse. I've cooked and eaten these from some I got from our orchard neighbour. They were by no means out of the ordinary flavour wise. We haven't seen many of these this year, which is unusual for here. Normally they are the most abundant single edible species I would say.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06472449597146519943noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5595983014626235642.post-36902079757722091652013-11-03T23:25:05.467+01:002013-11-03T23:25:05.467+01:00They are as you identify...

We also bought a book on Charente mushrooms which is very useful. Not sure that we would trust our own identification though!! Have a good week.
