Chanterelle hunting can be dangerous.
The sky is overcast and the rain, rain, rain has just taken a break for a few minutes, as we leave our car to slosh through the puddles. Hitting the trail, we have to jump to the side of the steep dirt road to make way to a chocolate dirt brown cover bicyclist. His white skin peeking through only small areas of his face. He races by in a flash showing his derriere with a thick tread of fresh mud straight down from his helmet to his backside about a foot wide. He looks elated and exhausted. He must of had some ride.
I injured my knee almost 18 months ago. It is nothing serious, but walking takes on a new appreciation. Taking a step without pain gives me a sense of joy. You do not know what you have until it is taken away from you.
The hike into the mountains on Sunday was very disappointing. In an hour and a half of hiking over fallen tree logs, holding on to trees that would dissolve under your touch, landing on wet patches of pea green moss, we only found a few small chanterelles. For every chanterelle we found, we found at least 30 stumps - someone had harvested that same spot and gone home with a heavy load. Though the dozen we found, would make a decent meal, we decided to return to base. we would cross the mountain insteade of straight down.
To our delight, we found a gold mine, the ground was littered with one chanterelle after the other in plain sight
