He was astounded and said it is unheard of finding that mushroom in the US let alone NH. I gave him part of it. He said I just ate a $400.00 omelette.
Has anyone else out there come across these delicacies before?  |
I can see it now—hunting for $400 truffles with a pack of squirrels on leashes.
But finally
a good use for the Red Squirrel!
All summer, Red Squirrels dry their mushrooms out on sundecks, railings, and high out on tree limbs: at $400 each, I'll be looking more closely at what's been put out there!

Keith is a Mycologist. (And knows some stuff about fixing Wolfeboro-area computers). He may tell you not to
truffle with mushrooms.
Come to think of it, I haven't seen Keith—the Mycologist—for a very long time.
