In July, my husband and I were
tromping through the bush and came across a hillside of these morels. I
was thrilled because I had FINALLY found them after years of zilch. We got
home and I decided to email a bragging picture to my friends - the one
attached here. I made this photo by putting the mushrooms on my scanner
and putting a 'shadow box' which I had made over top. When I looked at the
first scan, I noticed that the photo was ruined by white dots all over so
scanned again and there were even more! When I lifted the shadow box to
check, my scanner was covered in worms!!! Blechh! This photo took some
serious clean-up and bragging didn't have quite so much bluster. To add
insult to injury, I stuck them outside on my carpeted deck in a shallow
cardboard box with the intention of taking them back to the bush and woke up
the next day to find maggots all over the deck. Never did get out the
frying pan! |
