Plan to head to Chemult/Crescent Lake/Winema National Forest. Hope to catch some of this in full swing... meet some pickers and find some wild mushrooms myself!

How is it that all these feel-good foragers and vegetable renaissance men pull off rejoicing in the earth's bounty or whatever twaddle we're presently using to sell a plate of carrots decorated in 'soil' for $40 by killing a cow? I'm sorry but what a load of bollocks. This back to nature crap.

All I can say is that I think I have found a new favorite read. I am nursing a terrible cold this morning, my cabin is cold, my four sons are ornery, and it is gorgeous outside. I am so grateful for such a great read this morning to take my mind off of all the things I am missing.

As to poisoning deaths, it's important to remember the forager's golden rule: never eat anything you can't ID with 100% certainty. Glad to hear you're enjoying wild mushrooms despite your initial trepidation.

Anyway, I noticed last year driving between Arlington and Darrington that the pickers along the roadside seemed to all be Asian.<br /><br />That said, I still recall a terrible story when I was a kid in Oregon - a party from Portland went picking Jillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14679798533713533659noreply@blogger.com
