It's not just any mushroom we hunt for. The mushrooms we get don't look like your typical mushroom with the skinny stem and umbrella-like top with red and white polka dots. We look for morel mushrooms, which look like this:
Then we soak them in salt water to kill any bugs on them (which there weren't any this year), dip them in egg and flour, and fry them up. It's so yummy!
This year we were finding mushroom after mushroom and when we usually find 50-75 in one trip, this year we found well over 300. When someone would say, "I've got one!" you would then hear "two...three...four..." all the way up to nine or ten. Alyssa even found her share of mushrooms. She followed Grandpa Jacks around, and her job was to pick up the mushroom after he cut the stem, but sometimes she would point out another mushroom that he had missed.

Wow, I would like to try that someday. It sounds fun and yummy!
You are officially the only person I have heard of this century, or even last century of hunting for shrooms. Thats one of those great facts that you can bring out when you play the game where you tell three truths and one lie. Whose going to believe you go on an anually mushroom hunt??
But I am glad you had fun and that you guys hit the jackpot this year!!
