Shrooming
We drove for a longgg time to the secret mushroom picking location.
Christine led the way
into the darkness
It was spooky at first…
Then Christine got really excited. She called me over.
This is what we were searching for…
Cantharellus cibarius
So Christine got dedicated to the search, I kind of wandered around aimlessly and looked at cool things in the woods until she started hollerin for me.
When Christine found me she promptly started going through my bucket – throwing out all the pretty mushrooms I had collected – muttering something about slow agonizing death…
Anyway – her bucket was like totally full!
So we split them up into both buckets and headed out – Christine found the motherload of mushrooms and soon we had two buckets full.
Everywhere we looked were glorious beautiful Chanterelle mushrooms.
So we found a quite place by the pond to take a break.
We just could not stop ourselves from picking just one more mushroom.
So we ended up with two complete buckets and a full sweatshirt. 21 pounds of fresh mushrooms. Woooo hoo!
It was a very good day – we ended it by heading home for some dead cow smothered in gogonzola mushroom sauce.
