Morels
Pipi is on the "books" (by )
Bad News - Pipi has been cancelled.
Pipi is our most informal long distance club foray in the Serrias. It is a member's only foray.
The only scheduled part of this foray is our Saturday Potluck where everyone who is attending shows up at a designated campsite and brings food and drinks to share. Wild hunting stories are told around the campfire where often the bounty of the days hunting is found...
"Busted"
It was 25 years ago in May that I joined a foray to Yosemite led by David Arora. We camped at the Sweetwater campground on Hwy. 120 outside the park. I was new to FFSC then and didn’t know anyone, but feel that there must have been a club member or two on the trip. David says there were about twenty of us in total but sadly I have no photos of the foray and can’t remember the people. The first day we hunted the Nat. forest off Evergreen road and found morels. I remember being very proud of a prime 3” specimen. David found some Amanita velosa and cooked them up for us to taste that evening. He told us they were some of the best-tasting mushrooms and, of course, added the obligatory warning about eating amanitas that we weren’t absolutely sure of.
