The long dry autumn has prevented the usual crop of edible mushrooms being as abundant as usual.
Cepes and girolles would normally make their appearance at this time, and there have been some seen on the markets, but prices are sky high. This weekend in Ariege vendors were selling dried cepes (so probably not even this year's crop) at 15 euros for 100gms (ie 150 euros a kilo).
Amateurs will be seeking out their favourite (and secret) locations, but we have not had sight or our neighbour returning with bulging plastic bags as normal, so perhaps they are just not there.
