Mason Goes Mushrooming by Melany Kahn
"Mason Goes Mushrooming captures the wonderful experience of mushroom hunting, a magic that touches both children and adults." --Eugenia Bone, author of Mycophilia and the Fantastic Fungi Community CookbookThis first-of-its kind foraging story, Mason Goes Mushrooming takes us on a woodland treasure hunt. We follow a young boy and his four-legged pal, Buddy, to hunt edible mushrooms through lush Vermont landscapes, morels in springtime, chanterelles in summer and black trumpets in autumn. Curious about mushroom foraging or how you can hear the sound of the ocean without leaving the forest? Mason teaches us it's never too early to learn, and never too late to start.
Author (and Mason's mom) Melany Kahn quells common fears and puts the "us" in mushrooms, by weaving simple education through a playful, fungi-finding adventure. Four kid-friendly, forest-to-frying pan recipes highlight the flavor notes of the mushrooms featured. A short identification guide is provided for newbie foragers.
Illustrator Ellen Korbonski enchants with evocative watercolors capturing the beauty of the mushrooms, the thrill of the hunt, and Mason's fertile imagination, in a style that pings with the charm and timelessness of an enduring classic.
