We have had a wonderful porcini harvest this year.
Made some of the best soup ever. People would come in, order a bowl, and when they finished they would come back up to the counter and order a couple quarts to-go. They would frequently ask what was in it as they had never tasted any thing like it.
Not tooting my own horn here just praising the bounty from earth.
Every single one of the shroomers who supplied me said the have never seen so many people out in the woods. One guy said some guy came stomping over to him shouting about this being his spot, stop following me, I see your car here again I'll slash your tires.
and this is before real constraints are mainstream.
I pay $5.00 a pound and went through a couple hundred pounds and I know I'm not the only one so its big business up here.
souperman2, there is nothing like a globalized market place to promote localized tire slashing, and you are right as you imply, your story doesn't bode well for these increasing days of mainstream constraint.
I hope your pocini hold out, our chanterelles are in a can in Japan:)
(I won't talk about the herring roe industry and what that has done to the herring stock and all the things that fed on herring . I won't, because in the late 70's I made a packet there:(
