Gathering in a new area today and noticed a large thicket of Choke cherries with many Staghorn sumac as well, looking at the fruit the numerous seeds evident.
When a situation exist things naturally flourish as these are here, this is certainly pleasant to see.
Seed or spore, a receptive landing and nature does it and if a forager has gathered in this Chanterelle patch previously they have done so with good success and a gentle hand.
Chanterelles marching up the hillside, this is a pleasant challenge to choose a non-destructive way to gather a few of these on this mossy steep hillside. Gather your mushrooms deer-like and we will all do fine.
