   Folded as shown, the knife is 3.75".  Yeah, the Chanterelles were a nice   
   find.  I wouldn't call the largest a monster, but it was a decent size.   
     A big orange cluster of Omphalotus illudens got my attention, and I   
   started finding all kinds of stuff in the immediate vicinity.  All the   
   mushrooms in the original picture were found within 50' of each other.   
   Guess I'll go back this afternoon and continue picking.  Have to bake a   
   wild-blackberry pie tonight, too.
