Gathering

Mushrooms continue to flourish throughout the shade (Red Rise), found in good quantities at all the usual spots, as well as areas not previously fruitful. I wasn't going to pick today, although in the end I returned with well over a kilo. It dawned on me, I was assuming that the season would continue with the vigor it currently exhibits, a luxury of modern opulence, where as for a hunter gatherer in our temperate zone it could be the difference between subsistence and starvation. To procure the resources required whilst they present themselves in substantial quantities would be prudent. Assumption has kicked me in the arse too many times.
