i was a mushroom hunter in a previous life
It seems I was a mushroom hunter in a previous life!50 YEARS AGO
Mr. and Mrs. Russell Williams had tremendous luck as they got into the thick of their harvest of mushrooms. Russ reported sitting in one spot and cutting off 54 of them, all good size.
The Williams were not too optimistic when they started on their hunt, for each carried only a quart freezer bag in which to place what they might find. When they came upon the thickly populated patch, things began to happen. The bags were filled in no time; next it was Russ' cap, then his shirt, buttoned and with his sleeves tied; next his undershirt came off to make another container. Meanwhile his wife was piling what she gathered on the ground and was shouting for advice. He warned her to keep quiet lest she would attract other hunters, then dashed into Deer Creek, waded the high swift waters and ran to a house to ask for a basket. Rufusing a small market basket, then a tomato hamper, he spied a large clothes basket and received permission to use it and finally got them home.
In this life I have never collected mushrooms, but I do enjoy the greater variety of them that turn up for sale here during mushroom season in Wrocław. Some are quite colorful and flavorful compared to what I used to see for sale in Austin.
Temas pri malnova artikolo pri funga kolektulo antaŭ 50 jaroj, kiu koincide havis mian nomon. Tio pensigis min ke mi ne kolektis fungojn en mia propra vivo, sed mi ĝuas la polajn fungojn, kiuj ofte pli ekzotas kaj bongustas kompare al fungoj vendataj en Aŭstino.
