Little did I know that I married into a family of mushroom hunters. In all my 23 years before joining my new family, I didn't even know folks hunted for mushrooms, but they do. And we have a fearless leader that shows us the way in Papa John. 
Now you may wonder what exactly is mushroom hunting and how does one do this sport? The answer to that is simple. Mushroom hunting is a good excuse to go hiking around in the forest on a beautiful spring day mostly. Looking for the mushrooms adds to the excitment and keeps our heads on a swivel.

Last weekend was Max's first exposure to a Bugni Mushroom Hunting Trip and so Papa kept him close to show him the ropes. He had a great view point for watching for the mushrooms from Papa's shoulders.
Now hunting for mushrooms isn't an easy task and you can sometimes walk away empty handed. There is a science to getting your timing just right. You have to target your search for a day when it is not too cold, the snow has to be gone, but not to hot. Mushrooms are finicky. Well we lucked out and found some on this trip, but I am SURE it had to do with Papa and Dan's expert mushroom sense : )
Chase is holding some of our loot!
