fungus fun

We've been impatiently waiting for a good rain and last week the sky let loose. So this weekend found us in the woods hunting for little spots of orange under the trees. We found quite a few for this early in the year.

I didn't find the first one of the year (we always have a little contest) but this is the first one I found.

We still had a few left last night so I made pizza with chanterelles. Mmmm. It was out-of-this-world-yummy. I was a little worried that the fabulous taste of the mushrooms would be lost in the flavor mish-mash; but really it made a great pizza. Here is some of the leftover 3-cheese with mushroom variety.
