There wasn’t a horse to be seen but there were plenty of White saddles (Helvella crispa) poking through the leaf litter. I usually fiddle with the surroundings when I’m photographing fungi, clearing away the odd leaf or grass stem to provide a clearer shot but, today, I decided to show them as they really are, an integral part of this woodland ride.

My Grandma harvested those on the edge of the forest this time of year to make gravy. They look like the ones she used.

I’m not a forager so don’t know which fungi are edible but I’ve just read that these are known to cause upset stomachs and that some Helvellas can be carcinogenic. Presumably your grandma knew exactly which species to pick and how to prepare them. 🙂
