Washing Up
The weather here has been warm, humid, showery and good for nothing but mushrooms.
So QBro and I went mushrooming for about an hour this afternoon and got a BOUNTY of mushrooms, at least half were porcinis (or Polish cepes)!!!
We cleaned them and are dehydrating them in the oven now, to be used in beef and pork dishes, and Polish mushroom borscht, this winter.
The following photos are of fresh woodland mushrooms (today's harvest is not shown because I forgot to take a picture), then today's mushrooms cleaned and sliced on racks, and then a few of last year's mushrooms, dried to be stored in a cheesecloth bag until they are used. The aroma of dried and drying wild mushrooms is only surpassed by their incredible flavor!
Mushrooming is my second most favorite thing to do outside (sitting on the beach is the first!)
