OH god, too many mushrooms...

Went to the country place today with my dad and Toine. I managed to talk Toine into going. His plan was actually to stay at home and work...on his free weekend...I said no way!

We came home with like 20 liters of freaking autumn chanterelles...they are oh so super tasty but god damn it it's annoying to first cut the foot of the mushrooms, then brush them all, and after that split them in halves to make sure there is no worms, eggs or slugs inside them and it's annoying because they are so much smaller than other mushrooms so it's just time consuming. It takes almost twice as long to clean them as it does to pick them... We picked some small black trumpets, a few yellow chanterelles (but the season for those is almost over), quite some red-yellow trumpets and of course autumn chanterelles. News for the day is that I finally found a nice specimen of Porcini mushroom (Boletus edulis). In Sweden we call it "Karl-Johan mushroom" and I seriously have no idea why. Anyway it's one of my favorite mushrooms but for some reason there aren't that many of them this year...But the season for those is just getting started so hopefully there will be more of those soon!

  1. Muminmuggarna är väl från Arabia och inte Iittala? Kanske finns där ändå, finns ju svensktillverkat också så.

    Och nej, ingenting kan gå i källaren, jag är livrädd att nått försvinner eller att mamma skänker bort det! Källaren är som ett svarthåååååååål!
