As the chief cook, but not bottlewasher thanks to the help of all of the members, I didn't get to go very far for the foray...but from what I saw it was great. The pre-foray road trip that Bill, Reta and I took paid off for those participants...They were in bolete heaven. Thanks to newcomers Jacob and Elise for sharing, prepping and preparing the boletes for appetizers. Thanks to everyone who contributed their edibles for the menu! We had lactarius deliciousa potato soup, boletes in white sauce to put over the baked herbed chicken breasts, and chanterelle alfredo. What a great menu we came up with. I am forgetting one edible, I think...
Members found a "new to me" spot for chanterelles. I am eagerly awaiting fall rains to see if they will flush again, and will try to find the spot.
Mushroom wise, I think we were over 140 specimens. They were in great shape, and there was a huge variety. With over 30 participants, including several from the Palouse club, there were lots of eyes looking, which probably helped our specimen count.
I am looking forward to a post from a member who can put in some cool pictures!
