ahahah NO WAY those secrets were passed on by my dad over a lifetime, and are mine, all mine and will only be passed on to my daughters and grandchildren! Anywhere in the Jura mountains will do at this time of year- in the Alps you have to wait for June. Late May here will be St George's mushrooms season. Fortunately we have a massive ring of them in one of our fields- so 100 m from my kitchen door for an every day kilo over a few weeks - and I dry a lot too. Mine, all mine (well I do share with friends- and a lot finds its way to my daughters' kitchens in the UK too).

Happy to show you where to get wild garlic and organic nettles and sorrel, and sloes for sloe gin in the autumn, as well as wild hazelnuts- but not my mushrooms- apart from the St Georges as I get tons of them.
