Never thought you would catch me going mushroom foraging

Never thought you would catch me going mushroom foraging… but here I am, doing things I never would have done before. My group and I did some off roading in the forest so we got to see some really cool mushrooms that were hiding under the moss. Our decision unfortunately resulted in us getting a few ticks but I think I got them all off? (I hope…😬)

Before this I didn’t really care for mushrooms either way. If it was in a stir fry I would think it went nice with the food but I would never go out of my way or choose to eat mushrooms.

Well, that was before today. I got exposed to SO many different types and ways to prepare them. It made me see how versatile they really are and how they are such good enhancers to any dish. They carry such a distinct flavor alone and then with something else it gets even better.

I didn’t get photos of all that we made but it included the lettuce wraps, breakfast burritos, chutney with crackers, and a creamy soup. Cooking all of it under the most beautifully sunny day was the cherry on top. I definitely am more open to mushrooms now and will be looking forward to trying new combinations in the future.

Fingers crossed that this won’t be the last sunny day of the season 🤞🤞. ALSO I met 3 new kitties today 🫶.
