We went into green phase on June 5th. Everything is back to normal, except my summer school (ESY) classes will also be online learning. But other than not attending school for ESY at school now that we're in green phase everything has hopefully unless Coronavirus has another spike in cases in the area has returned to normal or as normal as possible. Masks will remain a reality and be daily occurences however until a vaccine is found. I picked mulberries the past few days. Yesterday I harvested 4 cups. Today I harvested 7 cups. They are delicious. Also, Coronavirus is at about probably 8 million by now (last time I checked it was 7.5M) but I don't care about it anymore because it isn't really affecting my life. However I will update you at least 3 or 4 times a month for your country's updates and the main focus now will be Brazil if this book is to continue being created. Therefore if you are American, the totals listed will be for Brazil, which I thought my country would be the only country to be one to surpass 1M cases but since Brazil is having a spike in cases it appears soon they will also reach 1M or more and my guess was wrong. Elsewhere other than Brazil cases have slowed, especially in the Northern hemisphere because of the arrival of summer nearing and it is so hot already that the Coronavirus is dwindling away. Coronavirus causes colds in case you didn't know so therefore colds are done until the fall. With return of fall if we don't have a vaccine by then this winter may be all quarantine all over again. But that is far from now and there is still a chance we'll have a vaccine by then. If we don't this book may be very long... Also with the onset of summer is the onset of the season for wild Chanterelles. Chanterelles are a mushroom that grows around now to September in a wet summer. Peak occurs around the second-to-last week of July. They are among the most prized mushrooms whether cultivated or wild and therefore if you buy them from a farmer's market you have to pay a hefty price. Fresh by the pound these precious golden mushrooms sell for 30 dollars. Dried they sell for double that. I may have mentioned morels here earlier, they are more valuable, but with the morels gone, the Chanterelles come. Then following the Chanterelles is the Honey mushrooms and Maitake (Hen-of-the-woods), of which Honey mushrooms I first found last year, but I had to do research and they all went bad before I completed my research. During Chanterelle season I'll probably study up more on them before they start to come out, as they seem to be gone as soon as they come and if you harvest them unless you freeze them immediately you have around a day before they turn into mush that'll smell horrible. But the Chanterelles are to come before we get there.
