Picking Mushrooms in America: A Jewish Immigrant Tradition
- PaulHoule 10y agoPolish immigrants too.
- Alex3917 10y agoYeah, I think the reason this article is interesting is that most people don't associate european jews with the rest of european mushrooming culture. E.g. even though I'm half ashkenazi, I learned mushrooming from the American amateur mycological tradition rather than from my grandparents or whatever. (Even though my grandparents did go foraging their with parents when they were children.) So I would never eat Leccinum and haven't yet gotten around to trying Russulas or Suillus luteus/americanus, even though those are mostly what these folks are collecting.
