I spent a lot of time camping and exploring as a kid. I loved running around river beds looking for shelf mushrooms.

I reconnected with mushroom hunting as an adult living in Calabria, Italy, where porcini hunters are passionate and secretive. I now live in Michigan, USA where I grew up and I am fortunate to be surrounded by mushrooms.

I am just getting started with mushroom IDing and hope to learn a lot more here with the help of my fellow mycophiles.
