have mostly been working on cultivating, with mixed results, but have a friend that is a good forager.
no puffballs, but lots of chanterelles. wish i had known this yesterday, tho, as i was up in madison.

do you ever dry them? i love my dehydrator. had a nice crop of winecaps last year, and they dried great. intensified the flavor.
dry a lot of tomatoes, too.

my mouth is watering.
