It was one of the most exciting, calming, special, beautiful, raw, fun, peaceful, connected, special things I have done.
The Mushrooms we picked and ate were called Saffron Milk Caps. There are many others in the forest that you can't eat and are poisonous. Some of them are glow in the dark and some of them look like they are straight out of a fairy tale. Nothing can explain walking through the dappled shade of the pine forest on your own with a knife and a basket, looking for that special shade of pinky orange that just might be a tasty mushroom for you to eat for dinner.
I just feel like the luckiest lady these days.
If you have some friends who go mushroom picking and they ask you to go. Go!...Bliss.

You're brave collecting mushrooms and eating them! I guess if you are with other people who know what they are looking for it might make it better.
I can't wait to see you in SO:ME. :)
