Cornith: Yeah, but I didn't actually //do// it!

It doesn’t take much for me to stop alongside the road for visions of fruiting bodies and appearances of fungi! One might say, isn’t it gross/weird to harvest mushrooms from the side of the road? Well, it depends. Which is always the answer for most things involving Mycology and your dinner plate. In the country, where they don’t use chemicals and poison to DE-ice then I do harvest mostly....because you only live once too, ya know? The mushroom pictured is Macrolepiota procera, the Shaggy Parasol! A mushroom, I read about, year after year. A mushroom a barely see on Turtle Island or that I feel comfy enough to snack on. But in Greece, these grow abundantly during the months we visit and now I feel very confident seeing this, recognizing it and IDing it for the table. Good thing too, because these are stunningly beautiful AND delicious! We will def be eating lots of these gorgeous mushrooms when we visit Greece together again this October! The Greeks tend to do the same things with lots of mushrooms... grilled on charcoal with oregano, salt and lemon! I ain’t complaining! It’s so good and everyone and every region has their techniques. One foray we led, the team of hikers, prepped the giant caps of the Shaggy Parasol to be cooked like “Schnitzel” WOW! What a treat! Now I’m counting the days til I can harvest these mushroom buddies and get them cooked traditionally! Come to Greece with me this year in October and we will eat all the best food and find amazing mushrooms to nerd out on! Oct 14-24, 2020 Early bird price is LIVE til 31 March! It’s also cheaper to travel with a buddy! Offering double occupancy rates to those traveling together. Did you know we also team with local folks sending supplies to refugee camps and housing? Yea, because we can’t just go to Greece without paying attention to the crisis and how we can help in some way. We show solidarity! So come through!

It’s approaching winter in the game, so I am considering removing the Harder Skilling mod I picked up so the city builder can gain 3 mechanical and 3 body skills before it starts snowing and sims start freezing to death.
