Mushroom ¨Hunting¨ expedition a success


We went on our first wild mushroom hunt of the year this weekend and looks like all the rain we´ve been having is worth it. After the past couple dry years, we were happy to find lots of wild mushrooms and have been enjoying them in our meals. Here is Jaume about to pick a rossignol, the ¨bolet¨ we found the most of.
Though very interesting to look at, there are always some ¨bolets¨ or wild mushrooms that I prefer to just take a picture of. Some of them can be highly toxic or give you a very sore stomach, so it is better to stick with the ones that you know.

Trompettes de la Mort, always a welcome find, are great in pasta. (I know I look rough:), it is hard work looking for mushrooms! Especially this time of year when there is still so much foliage)

Hmmmm.... ¨bolet¨ or chestnut shell...?
