Welcome to all the new members and happy foragers. The Salt Point foray was excellent this month! So many people were hunting for the first time and all of them were smiling from ear to ear. The recent rains helped to bring up mushrooms everywhere you looked and the crowd managed to fill a table and provide lots to talk about.
Many excellent edibles were collected so the pot luck dinner on Thursday night should be great.
