My New Hobby - Mushroom picking.

I have always loved eating mushrooms. The aroma, texture and visual experience of eating a wild mushroom is wonderful. I remember, many years ago in Norway, I was visiting my Uncle Anton and we were staying up in the mountains. As a family we went mushroom picking for Chanterelles. They were small and tasty. I remember my grandmother cleaning and cooking them. It has always been my desire to relive this experience so after my recent trip to Vogel State Park, I decided to make it happen.

Chanterelle Mushrooms, N. Georgia

I took the plunge and fried up these delectable delights. I added a cream sauce and venison steaks for a really tasty dish.

I have been bitten by the mushroom bug! Next step, I joined the Mushroom Club of Georgia.
