This is a story about the friendliness of others.
Today I went on a 70 km long bike ride to check if a forest I met last year would invite me to find some mushrooms. It was too dry, nothing to find, and I was on my way home again when I spotted a man with a - ! - bicycle basket and a boletus. So I stopped him, and we chatted all things mushrooms. I asked if I could take a photo, and sure, no problem.
- Can I give you the mushroom, he asked in broken Norwegian.
It took me some convincing, I would never have given away my boletus if I had found one!
- I have many at home.
And added what is my sincere opinion too.
- The find is the fun.
Thank you so much, old, friendly mushroom picker ❤️
People ain’t no good.
