Shrooms



What did I do this past weekend?


Mushrooming!

Now, before you sickos get all perverted on me and thinking mushrooming, as well as chimping, are disgusting acts that involve throwing poo and, well, mushrooms, you are not entirely right.

A group of us went hunting for mushrooms in a forest. (Isn't that SOOOO European??)

Sounds easy, doesn't it? I mean, they are not really dangerous and it's not like they're mobile or anything. But it's harder—much harder—than you might think. See, there are lots of poisonous mushrooms out there mixed with the good ones and if you are an American who doesn't know his mushrooms from a hole in the ground, mushrooming can be quite *ahem* tricky.

Plus, all the Germans who really take mushrooming as a way of life are out in the forest at 5AM.

Well, that is NOT gonna happen with me, so we had to dig through the mushroom carnage from the ones who were there before us. But we were lucky and managed to find some!

actually, my first thought when you said you were shrooming had nothing to do with flinging poo.

my first thought was: holy crap, this is going to be an interesting entry!

but i guess you meant a different kind of mushroom than what i initially thought of.
