[pct-l] Rocks vs mushrooms

[Glen Winters]

This sounds like fun I would love to learn more about which rocks are edible and 
how to cook them(or eat raw.)  Between the two of you that would make a great 
seminar at the kickoff on shrooming and rocking.

Shroomer,


Damn,  I've passed up on so many mushrooms over the years, keeping to that old  
saying, "never eat any mushroom unless you know how to tell the poison  ones 
from the good ones.  If you'll teach me shrooms, I'll teach you  rocks!

I'm on my way to Campo last spring in a van with a few other people all
starting that morning and I told some mushroom stories about the banner year
of chanterelle hunting in No Cal.  Three of us picked over 600 lbs of them
in a two month period while training for my thru hike.  Hearing that, the
driver said, "dude, you're Shroomer."

I've been mushrooming for over 40 years now, and my wine making buddies all
call me "the mushroom man" because I've taught most of them to forage
mushrooms, and always bring them to the crush to give away.  Anyway, the
name fit for an old hippie on several levels and I went with it.  Those who
hiked with me in WA got to benefit directly with some outrageous side dishes
on trail, and Motor became an avid mushroomer herself by the end.

Great question, as I loved the names and stories of everybody last year on
trail.
