This is the 15th year of continuous daily publication for 365Caws. All things considered, it's likely it will be the last year as it is becoming increasingly difficult for me to find interesting material. However, I hope that I may have inspired someone to a greater curiosity about the natural world with my natural history posts, or encouraged a novice weaver or needleworker. If so, I've done what I set out to do.

First Chanterelle
Day 322: There has not been much moisture and it is very early in the season, but nevertheless, I tucked a perhaps-bag in my kit and set out yesterday morning on a four-mile walk to check a Chanterelle spot I discovered a couple of years ago. I honestly didn't expect to find any, given the circumstances, and thus was surprised when I found a button. Ordinarily, I'd have left it to grow, but my taste buds have been nagging me for wild mushrooms, and a quick scan of my immediate surroundings revealed enough additional buttons for a small bowl of soup. Having not yet had lunch, the decision to collect them was made by my stomach, not my head. There will be more, of this I am certain. The soup was delicious.
