Well I'm really pleased my mushroom kits, which I've never had any success with before, are going great. Shii taki mushrooms I've had one crop, the Yellow Oyster one crop were superb, Eryngii mushrooms are doing fine and the button mushrooms are looking promising. I should get two or three (or more) crops from each kit. I do recommend the Yellow Oyster mushrooms they were first class.

I'm a bit puzzled by your post Thompson though. "Rain in Ireland - well, it will go straight over the Aran Islands and west Connemara, and spill when it hits the hills. Rain patterns are strange."

The mountains in my bit of West Connemara are less than 2 miles inland and it's not been spilling very much of them, we've not had much rain in the past twelve weeks.
