He makes you get very excited about collecting wild food and he gives good details on collecting and using. The only drawback is that he just has drawings not actual photos. I think a book with real photos would be a real plus but I don't have one. If you are going to try collecting mushrooms and think photos are a nessesity! (I don't personally have one but my Dad does and I don't go mushroom hunting except with him or for Morrels which I am quite sure about.Abbihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01842277589160618685noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-720122887391988458.post-49949011842507675782008-08-18T09:34:00.000-05:002008-08-18T09:34:00.000-05:00I have gotten more interested in learning about ed...I have gotten more interested in learning about edible wild plants.

I grew up in NW OR. There were several years where money was tight and my dad, my sister, and I picked them for money. There was a place that bought them from us. Actually quite a few people did this to make money. And we did not make much money but it was money. It takes a lot of mushrooms to amount to enough to make much. But Chanterelles have great flavor and taste. And they are very expensive to buy in the stores. I hope you enjoy them.Lynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14802256752471694650noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-720122887391988458.post-70209670510544618972008-08-14T15:36:00.000-05:002008-08-14T15:36:00.000-05:00wow, that is sure neat.

Living in Alaska, I'd have to check and see if those particular kind are even native to our state (I sorta doubt it). Our big thing up here is Fall berry picking. Starting in about a week, berry pickers (my husband and I included) can be found all throughout the hills and mountains of the outskirts of Anchorage (and beyond) hunting for blueberries, raspberries, high-bush cranberries, etc. Then it'll be a 2-3 week process of making and canning jam, freezing our berries for using later throughout the winter, and just having a great time snacking on our free, organic berry feast! haha<BR/><BR/>Sorry for such a long comment, I'm not usually quite this long-winded. But I love your blog and thought I'd stop by and say hello. <BR/><BR/>In Him,<BR/>jessica prestonAkprestonshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03297937097484272279noreply@blogger.com
