We have noticed that this year, possibly thanks to the very wet August, fruiting bodies seem to be everywhere. Every time we slow down on the motorway we notice an apple tree, weighed down with large fruit. It's going to be a bumper crop of everything this year. Here are some examples we've spotted.
