Mushroom Collecting

November 12, 2011

Today we went mushroom picking.  Apparently it is a very common thing to do here.  It was actually really fun even though we didn't find that many mushrooms; we found lots of walnuts instead.  We drove to a small town nearby into the forest where it is really wet.  They are really hard to see because they look the same as the ground.  I learned a lot about mushrooms so if I am ever in the woods alone and need food, I kind of have a little idea what will kill me and what won't.   Also it was nice to get some fresh air for a few hours from studying.
