And So I Traded A Goat...

Yep. I traded a goat for lessons in harvesting wild mushrooms. After the next rain I will be guided through the woods in search of chanterelles, porcini, and chicken of the wood. Late summer will be hen of the wood and cauliflower fungus! Though I have missed the morel season this year, he is convinced there is my own personal patch around here some where. I only want to learn the most easily identifiable ones. Until then I have been gifted with a mushroom book to study to learn how to pick and cook these delicious morsels. And today I will cook the chicken of the wood he brought me. Yum.
