All this burning is good for the museums! A lot of dead tree to grow on! In the next years you will get alot of mushrooms.Not truffles. They have been trying to cultivate them for several years around here, and only just this year seeing a bit of success. We have other good mushrooms though... most desired are golden chanterelle (Cantharellus formosus) and king bolete (Boletus edulis) which is the same as an Italian porcini. They are hard to find, though. We had been finding lots of the chanterelles on the hill behind our neighborhood, but the land was bought recently so we don't have access any more. It all burned up there last month... most trees will survive... I bet the mushrooms will also. But we will never know!
