I wrote down the telephone number of the real estate agent and planned to ask permission to harvest the fruit. Later, when I somewhat timidly called, I was surprised at how happy the realtor was to grant us permission. Looking back, I realize a large fruit drop is unsightly and makes property look abandoned and uncared for. I learned a good lesson . . . Gourmet recipes for Ramps.
Huckleberries are a favorite of bears and bees, and consequently are adventurous to pick.
Once you have tasted a Huckleberry, there is no comparison to any other berry. The part of the mushroom that we see is roughly equivalent to the apple on a tree. When we pick it, the plant itself is undisturbed, in the same way that a fruit tree is undisturbed when we pick fruit. In addition, wild mushrooms don't need to be sprayed, plowed, weeded or even planted. They find and make their own way in wild places, among wild things.
