   Cantharellus cibarius ;) coming up in Scotland too. Mainly still little   
   buttons but some big enough to eat.   
      
   By the way they were not that good. I thought it might be my usually poor   
   sense of taste/smell even worse with yet another cold but my wife confirmed   
   there was a lack of flavour from them. I collected some from this site a   
   couple of years ago (last year there were virtually none at all anywhere for   
   some reason) and noted that they were rather tasteless but I thought that it   
   might be because they were waterlogged from previous heavy rains. The ones I   
   collected last week were good and firm, in their prime but still bleh. Could   
   it be that I have discovered a flavourless strain of the species?? No, they   
   weren't Hygrophoropsis aurantiaca....
