The last two weekends, our walks in the hills have turned into mushroom picking outings. The year has been incredibly dry, but there's been a fair bit of rain recently so the mushrooms have been, well, growing like mushrooms. I'm far from an expert so I have to go with others, and even then I'm sure I'm not picking ones that I could be picking.
Anyway, mushrooms are ace. My personal favourite at the moment is the Fenyőalja "under the pine tree" mushroom, which in English is commonly known as the saffron milkcap. There are absolutely loads here at the moment and it tastes absolutely amazing. There are also a lot of porcini, which are delicious too and chantarelles and parasol . Ones we've picked that I'm less bothered about are puffballs (lófing - horse fart, in Hungarian) and a bitter tasting one called scaly hedgehog in English (it says here)
The bigger ones you can basically just slap on the barbecue and they're done.
Seriously though, saffron milkcaps. Absolutely lush. If you ever get the chance, you need to try them
