Last sunday something amazing happend, after a trip to ikea only to find it closed sophia and myself decided not to waste a day outside of copenhagen and went to check out a spot ive been looking at for some time now just waiting for the first sight of any sort of mushroom activity. After seeing some chanterells at work and hearing that they were allready booming in sweden i thought it must be time to find some for myself.
When we arrived at the woods we were super stoked to find some fresh wild rasberries straight away which were amazing but as good as that was we still wanted the mushrooms and after about an hour or so we finally came across some of the smallest chanterells ive ever seen it was crazy that we even saw them at all popping there little yellow heads out from the moss. We didnt get many and with no camera i couldnt take pics my first spotted chanterelle but we did when we got home and heres the results of the sunday search. Not much but there was more to come.
So after being so uber stoked on our first discovery and proving to all the guys at work that said you cant pick here until september that you actually could i wanted more, So i went back out on monday and took Brendan out for his first outer copenhagen forraging mission. We headed back to the same spot and again walked for a hour or two only to find toadstools and other wild herbs that were interesting but still not what were there for, finally as it always seems to work out just as we were walking along the road back to the car with not not much faith left we stumbeld across another small patch and this time i had the camera ready so here we go.
So with our faith restored we continued on to another spot i wanted to check out but we didnt leave without some more of those deliciouse rasberries even if we had to pick them in the pouring rain.
So we headed to the next spot and as soon as i got out of the car and walked a little bit i could feel we were in the spot it was steamy and smelt damp of mushrooms and within 15 minutes we were busting out high fives with what we had found.
A couple of prime chanterelles and th days result not to shabby.
Needless to say we had a pretty nice dinner and dessert with Brendan and Tilde with what we had found which made the walking around in the rain and ticks well worth it.
Keep posted for more mushroom pics as this will be a regular thing from now on.
