Yes the porcini hunt was a lot of fun and completely exhausting. Austin, TX is where I came from before moving here in 2005. Hey Georgette, thanks for visiting!

The red mushroom is usually eaten following the words, “Goooodbye cruel world!” They are very pretty though, and they are highly visible unlike the porcini that hide under rocks and grass.

What’s the red mushroom in the pic above? I’m assuming not an edible one … Here via That Girl in Italy and have really enjoyed what I’ve read so far. What’s the red mushroom in the pic above?

But what an experience and a memory. I am also salivating over those mushrooms. Just made a pork loin in cream sauce dish for lunch today and those would have been amazing in it… ah well, one day. Hope you are well! :) Hey Brian… good to see you posting again, and oh how jealous I am of your mushrooming adventure, although I’m sure it was more than a little taxing.

But I don’t know if I’d be willing to scale walls to get them! I guess I’ll just read about it on your blog and pretend. By the way, to your parents above me: Hi!!! :) Mmmm, porcini mushrooms are so yummy. But I don’t know if I’d be willing to scale walls to get them!

So that’s about 10KG (22lbs) between the both of us. If we were to sell them, that’d be between €120 to €150 worth.
