On the hunt today....

Nik was up by 5 this morning, 
it's so odd that he seems to be becoming a morning person... 

We've already finished a pot of coffee
and it's not even 8 am yet!
It's a beautiful, clear day and it's expected to get up to around 75f.

The Blewets are up this time of year 
so we're heading out to find some in a little while... 
Who knows what other wonders await us!  :)
Here they are on the cutting board...
They look shiny because they've been washed.  
We ate these in omelettes, and quiche and with pierogies!
They're very mild and delicious!
The larger they become, the more they turn the rusty color.  Once they're about 3"across, they're too overgrown to have much flesh.

 ~Here's what a cross section looks like of a nice, small fresh 2" cap.
I hope we find 100 of these today!

And finally, the grand-daddy Blewet of them all....
 This was the largest one we ever found, the cap was 6"  across!  
Too overgrown for eating, but really impressive!
