> In Washington, DC area the morels are starting. Another good rain and we'll have a bumper crop. Hope to find some Hen of the Woods and chanterelles again this year. Ah.. Chantrelles.... I found a spot for both the yellow and the red last year. Plus a serious surplus of tasty boletes in late Summer. Wild mushrooms have such a bad rep that it is easy to be able to pick a field clean of the best of the best in plain sight of a bazillion onlookers. They think you are crazy and you know they are ignorant. Well anyway... A sprinkle of dried pepper flakes might not be remiss. Joe
