Someone asked me today if I do any mushroom hunting.

Now, what do they take me for?  Some kind of sap?  Is that anything like Snipe Hunting or Cow Tipping?

Mushroom Hunting!  Anyone knows, if you were to shoot one of those things… you would certainly blow it to smithereens.   And besides that, I am not much of a hunter.

In fact… I’m not a hunter at all.

When it comes to eating meat and such… I sure do.  But I prefer to find it at my local grocery store.  In the Meat Department.  (Shout out to Marsh Supermarket!  Woooo Hoooooo.)  I’m not much for looking through the cross hairs at Bambi, or Thumper, Nemo … or even Elsie.

It is much the same with produce.  Those fine Grocers have a bunch of that at their stores too.  (And it is so much easier than all the digging and  weeding and such that comes with gardening.)

So there you have it.  I am neither a gardener or a hunter.

Let’s consider this fact for a moment.

Way back in history, there were different phases of evolution of the early people.  The Paleoindian Period refers to the time period when people were nomadic Hunter-Gatherers.

We’ve established that I am definitely not a hunter.  Therefore…. I think I evolved from the gatherers. You see….. when I need food…. I just drive to the grocery and gather the things I need.  That is how my people rolled.   So now… that is how I roll.  We gather.  I gather.

The Gardeners didn’t come around until the Woodland Period.

At any rate…. back to the mushroom hunting thing.   I decided to give it a go tonight.

So, I grabbed my camera…. went out… and shot this one.

And that…. is ALL I can gather about any of this.
