Day 1,456 of the Adventure
Shelley has taken a shine to foraging this year. It makes me nervous when she declares that she's found some new variety of mushroom. It reminds me of that joke about the woman who keeps having her husband's die from eating poison mushrooms. With the exception of the last one who died of blunt force trauma, because, she went on to explain, that he refused to eat his poison mushrooms. It's not that bad here. At least not yet! She did, however, lead me into the woods to show off a small Lion's Mane mushroom she'd discovered. All of the rain we've received over the past few days has mushrooms popping up everywhere. Most are still on our "Do not mess with them" list, but Lion's Mane are easy to identify and are tasty to eat. I guess the backwoods can be as tame or adventurous as you choose. Mushroom foraging falls into that adventure spectrum. One that I'm only as enthusiastic about as I have confidence in my ability to identify the good from the bad.
