Great post with lots of good info. I like mushrooms and have done some foraging as well - I remember the one year I found a couple of morels when I wasn't even looking. Bonus!
I found you today because @porters featured you in the Pay it Forward Curation contest. Keep up the great work!
Thank you :) and yeah, it is fun to find morels--first time I found them I was not expecting them at all.
