Are you familiar with Morel mushrooms, Yumilko? My nephew was here in the spring and picked at the different "burn" areas in the Okanagan. There were buyers right there in different locations to buy them and the pickers got a lot of money for them. He gave me a bagful of dried morels and as much as they were delicious, they did not agree with my gastrointestinal system (if you know what I mean...). Sadly, I had to gve them away. I love to hike and here in the kootenay mountains, there are many diiferent types I have found, some, I am sure are good ones, but since I am not an expert, I never try them. I wish I had your expertise, Yumiko.
