Era: Started from raising livestock in the mountains

"Woof!"

Xiong Ba broke off the green-headed fungus with his dog's paw, bit it and handed it to Lin Heng.

Green head fungus is a kind of Russula russula, whose scientific name is Russula vinifera. When it first grows, the cap is spherical. It has a protective color like grass, making it difficult to find.

When it grows up, it will become flat, hemispherical and gradually stretched. The middle part is often slightly concave, not sticky, light green to gray green, the epidermis is often patchy and cracked, and there are stripes on the edge when it is old.

"Look again, there must be one more." Lin Heng directed Xiongba and said.

Bluehead fungus is very magical. If you find one, there will be another one within one meter.

Sure enough, I soon found another one under the leaves.

"Woof woof!!"

Xiongba ran to another place and called Lin Heng, sticking out his tongue and shaking his head, as if he was enjoying the feeling of calling Lin Heng.

"You can't finish it all at once, right?" Lin Heng gave it a slap on the butt.

But he found that this place was not bad, with delicious beef and a lot of green head mushrooms.

Green head mushrooms are valuable and taste very good. They are the most delicious mushrooms among the red mushrooms.

Just in the low bushes of Hongfeng Mountain, I found a basket of about five or six kilograms of delicious porcini mushrooms and green head mushrooms, as well as a small amount of yellow head mushrooms.

"Damn, it was eaten by mice as expected."

Lin Heng found the bag he had thrown away yesterday, with only some bird feathers left in it.

After scolding Jerry, he turned the bag over and put the mushrooms in the bamboo basket inside.

Then he took the empty basket and led Xiongba into the tall woods where the pig badgers were being killed.

I thought there must be more fungi waiting for him to harvest in the tall forest.

But the reality is often cruel, just like when you are fishing and feel that you will explode today, but the result is empty.

Not even a single red mushroom was seen in the forest, only a few white amanitas known as the Umbrella of Death.

"Depend on!"

The huge gap made Lin Heng a little unbearable, and he felt a little familiar.

However, the fresh and slightly misty jungle after the rain quickly calmed him down: "It doesn't matter if you can't find it. It's okay to take a walk in the forest after the rain."

The dog Xiongba entered the forest and ran away. At this time, no shadow could be seen, and only one or two barks could be heard occasionally.

Tick ​​tock!

The breeze blew by, and a transparent water droplet fell from the swaying leaves, and it fell into the small water with a ticking sound.

With a snapping sound, Xiao Shuiwa was trampled to pieces by Lin Heng who was wearing rain boots. The water droplets splashed out and was forced to float into the distance.

"Huang Laitou, not bad!"

Under an acorn tree, Lin Heng saw two orange-yellow acorns. He patted them and uprooted them, with a smile on his face.

One of the joys of picking up mushrooms is that you never know what kind of mushrooms you will pick up next. It is full of unknowns and surprises.

Although there were few fungi in the forest, Lin Heng was still having fun.

After walking around for an unknown distance, Lin Heng saw the figure of Xiong Ba, the silly dog.

"What are you doing? If you eat any fungus, it will poison your dog."

Lin Heng looked at it pulling something on the ground and gave a warning.

"Woof woof!!"

Xiongba raised his head and shouted at Lin Heng twice, pointing his paws at the ground.

"Is there a fungus?"

Lin Heng came over to check.

"This is!!"

Lin Heng's eyes widened when he saw what was on the ground.

On the ground where Xiongba peeled off pine needles, a yellow-brown mushroom head emerged from the ground, with yellow-brown ciliated scales on it.

Lin Heng could smell the fragrance from half a meter away.

"What a good dog, you are really a fortune!"

Lin Heng rubbed Xiong Ba's dog's head hard. If it wasn't a little dirty now, he would have kissed it twice.

The mushroom on the ground is none other than the legendary matsutake mushroom.

Finding a stick, Lin Heng quickly dug out two ten centimeter-long matsutake mushrooms, because they had just grown and had not yet opened their umbrellas, so they were in the shape of sticks.

This may be why it is called matsutake, as it looks very similar to deer antler.

After smelling it, Lin Heng couldn't wait to peel off the leaves and continue digging.

These things all live in groups. If you find one, there must be others around it. The reason for their scarcity is mainly due to the harsh growth environment.

Another reason is that it is hidden too deeply. Half of its body is in the soil and is often covered by leaves. It quietly rots away before it is discovered.

With an excited heart and trembling hands, Lin Heng dug out 13 matsutake mushrooms in a short time, weighing almost two kilograms.

Huang Laitou roughly pulled the basket aside, leaving most of the space for his matsutake, and carefully put it in.

"No wonder matsutake mushrooms grow here. The two huge pine trees next to it are probably fifty or sixty years old."

Lin Heng looked at the two large pine trees next to him that could not be hugged by anyone and said with emotion that only under old pine trees could there be matsutake mushrooms.

Matsutake mushrooms are currently sold in the market for 10 yuan a pound dry and 3 yuan wet, so you know its value. It is really expensive, but it is also really rare.

"I will eat half of these today!" Lin Heng looked at the matsutake mushrooms in the basket and felt his appetite aroused.

I didn’t eat much of this good stuff in my previous life, so I have to taste it first after being reborn.

After digging the matsutake mushrooms, Lin Heng spread the pine needles back and brought some from other places to cover them up. This nest could not be discovered.

After finishing, Lin Heng rubbed Xiongba's head again and whispered: "Uncle Dog, I admit that I spoke a little loudly before. Are there any more around? Let's smell it?"

Xiongba blinked, licked his hand, and shook his head: "Woof!"

"No?"

Lin Heng was a little unconvinced and looked for it himself. Xiongba didn't move, just sat there and watched his master run around.

"The fact proves that dog noses are powerful. Let's go home!" Lin Heng shook his head and was convinced. If Xiongba said there were no mushrooms, then there really were no mushrooms.

Lin Heng went back home with the bag of delicious porcini and blue-headed mushrooms. His elder brother probably went back to pick grass for cattle.

It was almost dark when he got home. Xiulan and others also came back and talked about their harvest.

"Mom, you just picked some red mushrooms and chanterelles?" Sister-in-law Liu Juan looked at Lin's mother's basket and blinked.

"Yeah, not many. There are many people picking mushrooms, and these are pretty good."

Mother Lin nodded and asked, "You? Are they all chanterelles?"

"I picked up good mushrooms, mom. More than a pound of morels." Liu Juan peeled the chanterelles apart, and underneath were a dozen beautiful black-veined morels.

"You're so lucky. You can sell them for a few dollars." Mother Lin praised, turning her head to look at Xiulan again.

"I picked up shiitake mushrooms, a basket of two or three pounds, all grown on a rotten piece of wood."

Xiulan smiled and said that wild shiitake mushrooms are also relatively valuable mushrooms, and the price is about the same as chanterelles.

But its fragrance is comparable to that of morels, and it tastes much better than the artificially cultivated ones later.

"You guys can't do this, you have to look at me." Lin Heng looked at the three people with the bag and basket.

First of all, he has surpassed them by a lot in terms of quantity.
