Chanterelle Hat
McDowell enters forest with hat in hand and comes out loaded – with chanties. And the dogs get their walk.
Summer Hedgehogs
Summer hedgehogs. Is this possible? All we know is McDowell’s face lights up whenever she’s Hedgehog Dreaming!
Trametes versicolor
May and the Trametes v. is gorgeous. So too are the Mom bear and two teeny tiny cubs we met on the mountain.
Oyster (Pleurotus)
Perfection oysters: firm / delicious. Deck dried by the sunshine and lava lamp, to rock that ergosterol into vitamin D.
Craterellus tubaeformis
Welcome to winter 2016, winter chanterelles that is! Deelish, give them a nice dry fry and enjoy around the fire.
Trametes versicolor
February offers the ever-subtly beautiful Trametes versicolor or turkey tail. Upper Mount Elphinstone.
