I'm often asked why I forage, what brought me to this practice.
This time of year, I'm struck by all the common names of mushrooms that come out of my mouth, and how it must sound to even the people who know me well: Lobster, Chicken, Hen, Shrimp, Beefsteak.... You'd think I'm taking a trip to the butcher's shop, not the forest!
Have you ever tried a lobster mushroom? Hypomyces lactifluorum is a surprisingly heavy chonker of a mushroom, and you're in luck because now is the time to find them!
