we did for chanterelle mushrooms this last saturday and about three weeks ago. pretty fun.
and did anyone know that carrots are naturally red, not orange? carrots foraged from our garden

We used to go find morels in the woods by the house.

My GFs parents drive all over for morels too. Went to Michigan last year for some special morel hunting thing, lol.

Carrots are naturally orange, there are less common varieties in different colours (such as red or white).

We as humans didn't work our way to the top of the food chain to go to parks to pick up things that will not fight back off the ground to eat them without first burning them with fire.

I forage at Whole Foods and Trader Joes.

Wow, nice looking chanties. They are one my favorite mushrooms.
Last year was terrible for chanterelles where I live but it was great year for king boletes. This year has been good so far, found lots of morels and few spring kings in Sierras in the spring. Now I am just waiting for the raining season.
It is fun foraging, get to meet interesting people who are very informative. One of best part is the drive through the mountain roads in my e30.

I've gone foraging for berries but, that's about it. I've got some real earthy friends that are all about it. Some of their friends who I rarely see since they live out in the sticks live strictly off foraging, they're uhh... interesting people.
