Grandpa John was a Mushroomer
Grandpa John was a “mushroomer”. Now, I’m sure there is some specific term for those individuals lured into the forest to track down and harvest wild mushrooms, but I don’t know it. Frankly, our family just called it “crazy”. It’s not that we didn’t love mushrooms. We had them in gravies and on pizza, and sauteed with onions and butter, which …
