Hi ,
I'm back from the Okanagan after a successful porcini mushroom hunt, though I was a bit late. Early August would have been better as a lot of the areas were picked over by the commercial harvesters already. Look at this cute little guy!
Porcini are one of the tastiest mushrooms to eat raw, in Italy I had a lovely dish with thin sliced porcini, oregano, thyme, good olive oil and cracked salt... that's it - beautiful! Most mushrooms I wouldn't eat raw as they are hard for humans to digest, but a small plate of raw porcini was never an
issue for me. Learn more about how to find your own on our mushroom tours this fall...
More Galiano Island adventures this summer, this was a fun one. Here is your forest survival tip of the day. Tree pitch, traditionally, was used as a forest treat, yes, you can chew it like gum...
