There were 19 sessions in total, between September 1st and November 20th.  

Only twice did I have to offer a partial refund for lack of fungi, in general it has been a good season for fungi, although not the best, for it started late due to exceptionally dry weather and ended prematurely due to exceptionally cold weather.  

The season started with what are undoubtedly the largest mushrooms (actual mushrooms, not brackets) I've ever seen. These are velvet rollrims (Tapinella atromentosa).

Not edible, quite common but not usually the size of dinner plates. We found about twenty of them, the largest over 40cm across.   It ended with a bumper crop of winter chanterelles (Cantherellus tubaeformis) and a few resilient hedgehog fungi. 

The peak of the season, for me at least, occurred on Sunday October 2nd, when the lucky foragers, having already found a nice selection of good edibles, including more chanterelles than we could carry, stumbled across a whole family of cauliflower fungi just two minutes before we finished. 

Even then we weren't finished, as on the way back to the car we came across a patch of Lactarius volemus, which was a new species for me.
