I have so many hobbies and interests I can hardly keep up with them. One of my favorite hobbies is Mycology, the study of mushrooms. I have been hunting, eating and selling wild mushrooms for over thirty years. Walking through the woods, cemeteries, fields and people's back yards and coming up with a delicious meal for the low price of nothing is a great feeling. An even greater feeling is getting paid to do it. I found out a long time ago - money DOES grow on trees! |
