Under the Pine tree

So we have our mushrooms too. Almost like in France...

I had to look under the Olive tree in my garden and there they were.

Those are the only mushroom that I know here that can be cooked.

This is the first and the last day that they can be found. After the first or second rain in the

begining of the winter.They are called after the Pine tree which they are suopose to grow under, but for some reason I have them here under the Olive tree.Somtimes they get like sponge while being cooked so may be this is the reason why only few in my family like them.When I was a child we used to spend hours looking after them in the forests of the north and came home with empty baskets.

I think this is one of the few things in my life that got beter with the years.
