SACKS

I dreamed last night I was finding morel mushrooms. They were at the edge of a timber. No, I can't tell you WHERE. But they were everywhere. This made me realize it's time to start saving sacks for mushroom season. You need lots of mushroom sacks. Plastic bags from Wal-Mart or the grocery store work nicely. Yes, I know they tell you to only use mesh bag to carry your mushrooms in, so the spores can scatter as you walk. Have you ever tried toting a mesh bag through gooseberry bushes, wild raspberry vines, or those long vines with exactly one million, six hundred thousand, seventy six hundred and three stickers on them? Besides, you'd lose a lot of bugs through those sacks, and we all love them fried golden brown. Plastic bags are bad enough to rip open, so carry plenty of spares in your pocket.
No matter where you go during mushroom season, you need to carry mushroom sacks with you. If you're going to have fish at the Harvest on Friday night, you need to take mushroom sacks along. Do you know how many dead trees there are between here and Hamburg?
One year, I saved a king size mattress bag. It was fun to fill that sack with mushrooms and take photos, but I don't recommend dragging it up and down ledges, across creeks, and through brambles. When it gets full, it's mighty heavy.
So it's time. Start saving those sacks. One year, I washed a load of clothes, and found 4 sacks in it when I took it outside to hang them up. It was a load of pajamas.
Well, when I dream about finding mushrooms, I need sacks to put them in, don't I?
