Food outside of the garden

I love the fact that we are living off the land in so many ways.  We have been growing our food and harvesting our wood for the winter, and now comes the best harvesting time of the year for me.  Wild mushrooms, more specifically, chanterelles. These are my favorite mushrooms to gather in the late summer.

I found quite a few around our cabin. They like to grow near water and in a mixture of evergreens and deciduous trees.

I collected them and the best way to keep them is to dehydrate them for 3 - 7 hours at 125 Fahrenheit
