Wild mushrooms

My husband has found a new hobbie, hunting wild mushrooms... yesterday we went out with a friend (that has done this for YEARS, you need to be VERY sure they are what you think they are before eating mushrooms) and found  shaggy manes, fried chickens (looks more like a pile the horse left behind) and some chantrels(sp)  also he found a hen in the woods or they are also called sheeps heads or something, but it was pretty much  over the hill... we came home with about 30 lbs of the fried chicken mushrooms... I am going to put them in the dehydrator today....It was alot of fun walking around up in the hills yesterday.. was a gorgeous day...    maybe some mushroom books for Christmas might be a good idea:>

I am also going to try a new craft.... beeswax ornaments... I love the smell of beeswax and think I will find a couple of nice angel molds and make some for our Christmas tree this year.... I will post some pictures when I get one done.... I have a couple of huge chunks of wax in the other room I will use for it...

"Be very very quiet, I'm hunting mushrooms." hahahahahaha

I use to hunt the wild 'shroom in my younger days, they were easy to sneak up on too. LOL

It is fun to forage in the forest.
