Last year, I wrote about finding a giant maitake mushroom on the land here at Dancing Rabbit. Last week, I walked out on the property with my dad, and we found the mushroom in the same spot yet again – right at the base of a dead oak tree.
A great spotlight was cast on the mushroom, which made it all the more appealing and beautiful in the fall woods. Although smaller than last year’s maitake, this one was just as delicious. What a treat! I will undoubtedly make a regular journey to the woods to seek out the mighty grifola frondosa.
