Still Finding A Few

The walk through the forest the other day still had me finding a few Chanterelle mushrooms. I try not to take this years bounty for granted, there have been years when the season for fungus ended in early November with deep freezing that put the kibosh on the mushrooms until the next fall. This year the mushrooms have been more of a trickle than the gush of new growth, but I have been finding at least a few each time I head out.

These mid-December beauties were harder to find, and the walk was several miles longer than the average hunt. But me and my wandering dogs enjoyed the foggy, ethereal day as we tromped along the forest trails.

It was quite the surprise as we were heading down out of the forest to find cow #9 (Francie calf’s mother) near the half-way point of the hill at the sharp corner that traverses the tip of the canyon. She had been out scouting for the grasses that grow along the road Mike had punched in two years ago. She was munching along as we were moving slowly downward and she continued her foraging as we went by. Francie was spotted near the bottom of the hill with the older calves and not paying any attention to where her mother had moved off to.
