Remember that this has been my journey as well, so you may find errors in my identifications of plants. I have tried to correct them as I discover them. Likewise, I have refined fiberarts techniques and have adjusted recipes, so search by tags to find the most current information. And thank you for following me!

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.
