Fall Fungus

We had our first rains a few weeks ago, and the mushrooms have started pushing there way through the thick duff.

The start of the fall gold rush has began. Mushrooms are big money and people very rarely share there secret claims. I don't know enough about wild mushrooms to feel confident to hunt by myself so I normally await invitations for meals cooked with bolete's or chantrelle from friends who are in the know.

Last week I recieved a call from the leader for the SLVMLO (San Lorenzo Valley Mushroom Liberation Orginization) He goes by Jack. He offered to take me on a harvest hike, and I couldn't refuse. So after a long hike blind folded, playing a game of "sink the Bismark" and being verbally broken by his cohort we got to "the Spot".

I came home with enough chantrelle mushrooms to create a few dishes.

Could I get back to"the Spot"? I'm not telling

My intentions we to show case my find with a simple soup

2lbs. Mushrooms

1 white onion

4 cups chicken broth

zest of one lemon and some juice

Once you have combine all the ingredients and let simmer for about 45minutes you should blend. This could be served hot or cold. I think soup is always better the second day so I let mine sit a day before serving
