Yesterday after lunch, Evan and I saw this massive mushroom on a tree.

The next day I showed the picture to Alex who said “that’s Chicken of the Woods”. Which sounded right to me from the bit of mushroom research I did a few years ago. I ran it by my mushroom-hunting-nerd friend, Aaron Patterson. He gave me the “sure looks like it to me” seal of approval. So Alex and I went back and harvested it.

Now we just have to decide what to make with it.

In case you don’t know, I’m on The Great American Road Trip and blogging about it over there. There’s also the road trip Twitter account : @MyRoadTrip and the Flickr photo set and videos on Vimeo from the road.s

In other words, things are slow around here, because I’m busy else where. I’ll be back. This is the one thing that still holds true.
