Thinking about last week’s hike


I’ve always envied those who are mushroom-literate, and their shared knowledge and lore. Especially the secret places, known to only the few.
A friend in Newfoundland is one of the 2-3 people who knows about a hidden patch of Matsutake mushrooms somewhere on the Conception Bay coast in Newfoundland. The mushrooms, once harvested, are enjoyed by family and friends, but the foraging has a special forces level of secrecy.

@chrisfoley that’s amazing!
I’d love to learn but this is one of those areas I definitely don’t feel confident learning from books or secondary sources. I need a real person with expertise to be right there with me before I’d trust my knowledge.

He’s wrong. Edible means safe to eat. Replace “edible” with “eatable” and the logic of the statement holds.
