Yesterday we found a really easy place to launch kayaks at the quiet end of Praia Magdelina at Cedeira, you can drive onto the beach and unload next to the water and explore some safe water or paddle round to the beautiful beaches and esturies at Villarube or head out to between the gap in the distant hills and into the open sea.
Fungi
On the edible fungi front so far we have found some lovely chantrelles larger and tastier than anything I ever found in the UK , lots of boletus, although I am only confident at identifying a few boletus variaties so we have not eaten may yet. Just over the road from our house the pine trees have no shortage of Sparassis Crispa.
This is a fungi I had never tasted but is now a firm favourite; I cooked some last night by gently frying in butter - it has a distinct and delicious nutty flavour, As far as I am aware ther are no poisonous fungi that look anything like it so it seems a fairly safe find. The photo is of a fairly young one (now consumed) but they can grow up to be many kilos.
