This past Friday we went mushroom hunting in a super-secret local spot. The key to finding mushrooms is going out a day or two after it rains. The soaked ground underneath decaying trees creates the perfect conditions for fungal growth.
In addition to a dozen or so species of fungi, we’re %90 certain we found some chanterelles, a choice edible. We cooked and tasted ’em (I didn’t try too much) and they were indeed delicious. I made a spore print, but the white spores were difficult to see on the white piece of paper that I used.
Mushrooms are so beautiful and interesting.
