oh look at this up here what is that
that could be the payday we’re looking
for right just when chris and levena are
thinking they might have to throw in the
towel this is it this one have been
waiting for I’ve got honey mushrooms
like tons of them there’s probably 20 or
30 pounds here at least these are in
good condition but they’re wet so we’re
gonna have to get back as quick as
possible and dry them a little bit of so
we can still sell them fresh people at
the farmers markets gonna love these
they’re good for soups and stews and
just sauteing up and putting on a steak
it’s just a big mass right there oh my
gosh
this is heavy as hell this is about
three pounds all right right there
so 50 bucks at least well but what is
this right here holy crap I didn’t even
see all these that’s all honey mushrooms
– jeez I’ve just been looking at the
ground it’s about time putti mushrooms
can fetch up to $30 a pound and with the
mushrooms they’ve already got they could
bring a decent payday so look for
baskets and a shirt – good news all
right now if we can just get him out of
here we’ll be all right
I’ve got to get these mushrooms out of
here and I’ve got to get them dry
somehow I mean it’s it’s a it’s very
worse they’re too wet to box up for
selling at the market seriously they’re
wet and falling apart so when we get
back we’re going to have to dry them out
a little bit now it’ll be a tight race
to see if chris and levena can dry out
their mushrooms before the farmer’s
market opens in the morning we were
almost there
