Mushrooms
by Kraig on Sunday 14/Mar/2004, @15:55

I'm with ya on mushroom hunting spent many a day looking for those little yellow suckers in northwest woods.I spent a summer working at Mount Saint Helens Monument in the mid 90's where i learned about the fun of hunting and getting lost. Now i live in San Diego but i so miss the Northwest. Mountain Biking up there is the best in the US.

I have been hunting chanterelles for... has it been 20 years? That makes me feel old. I have lots of my favorite places now and I love to let the woods tell me their stories as well as trying to divine their secrets. I also love that first day back cooking the mushrooms and smelling that wonderful woody aroma. As I understand it they are very popular in Germany.

I'll attache a picture I edited of them...

Mushroom hunting I tend to not like, but it's all so well worth it in the end!

Attached is an image of the type I find in my area.

I should hope so! That looks like a Morel which is either a 4 or 5 (out of 5) in the Audubon guide and probably in season right now. For anyone who hasn't tried them sauteed in butter they are sort of like bacon that melts on your tongue. They're one of the very select few mushrooms I prize more than chanterelles. They do grow here but I don't know the good hunting grounds for them that well.

If you find you have a large surplus I'll send you my address. They are several times as expensive per pound as any gourmet cut of meat. ;-)

My favorite book on the subject is "all that the rain promises" it has a bit of wierd humor with it too. The people to contact for the summit are Kendall@lindows.com and cheryl@lindows.com. I'm working in the KDE booth that weekend along with an few KDE fans from San Diego. Would you to have a real KDE developer with us. We're just users and not developers so to have a real developer would be great!!
