The warm summer days encourage many activities. Collecting mushrooms brings me close to nature and outings are often followed by some wonderful culinary experiences.
Chantarelles make a phantastic meal !
All the time I am reminded that what I am collecting are just "decorations" or perhaps flowers belonging to an organism I would not know where to find without them. Some of these living creatures are enormous:

These "decorations"are in a state preparation for many months waiting for the right moment to come out, catching our eye and telling us where they are. They want to be seen! They come out from inside the ground and give us a fine show if we take the time to look.

Yet looking is often not enough. For anything that wants to be seen a degree of synchronicity is required. Thus we often stumble over what we were looking for just a few moments before or do not find what is obviously waiting patiently. We must be receptive for these moments, open up.
