I like mushrooms so I was delighted to learn that September is National Mushroom Month. Hooray, they get a whole month. I include mushrooms, preferably fresh, in lots of dinners, especially in casseroles. Many years ago when I was a child (many, many years ago) while visiting relatives in Pennsylvania. my brother and I were taken to visit a mushroom farm. I remember being inside cool, damp buildings with mushrooms growing all over the floor. Years later, and I don't remember the exact circumstances, I was in a meeting with several other women discussing our jobs. At the time I was working as a mortgage loan officer, a job that kept me talking to people all day long. I also had two pre-teen children who needed lots of my time. Not to mention a loving husband and two cats. One lady in the discussion group told us that her job was raising mushrooms in her basement. I instantly remembered those cool dark very quiet mushroom barns and thought "What a great job." Now it occurs to me that this could be a good retirement job. All I need is a basement.
