Glad you liked my tour, and you’re still alive. And I appreciate the kind comments. And it was sassafras you used for root beer, not sarsaparilla. For people interested in the subject, please check out my site. I’ve written a number of user-friendly, informative, entertaining books too. If you get signed copies from me, the publisher and book seller won’t get nearly all your money. Thanks again!

Robin: If you want to learn, there is no time like right now. Get some books, find a local mycology group. I’ve been exposed to it for over 6 years on and off and it takes time to get comfortable identifying mushrooms alone. I try to take it one mushroom at a time.

Al: I’d like to hear the interview. Is it on a podcast?

Jennifer: It’s possible, he’s got a reputation. I think he might be vegan. Definitely vegetarian. He shared some homemade vegan ice cream during our lunch break and I was very impressed.

Is it possible that the wildman was featured in a documentary at some point? I feel like I’ve seen him before. Regardless, foraging sounds like a super fun experience and you made out like a bandit with all the awesome items you took home.

That’s so cool that you got to forage with the Wildman. I heard an interview with him on Vegan Freaks a while back. Sounds like an interesting guy.

I do not have the knowledge about picking the right mushrooms so I think it is pretty exciting that you did this
