The two things I miss most about the old place are the miles and miles of forest paths to walk, and our super-secret patch of giant chanterelle mushrooms. Looks like Mike has discovered a new spot. We feel so smug when we walk into the grocery store and see these selling for $25-35 a pound! Last year was so dry that either chanterelles didn't happen, or we missed the one window of opportunity. I think I remember Mike saying he found one small dried-up one. This year, he found one a few weeks ago that was huge but had seen better days. We thought we'd missed it again. Hooray!
