A Mushroom Hunt on the Side of Mount Hood
An edited excerpt from my debut book, Group Living and Other Recipes, published in Willamette Week in November 2024.
As a palate cleanser, enjoy this excerpt from Lola Milholland’s memoir.
As this newspaper went to press, much was still unknown about the future of Portland. And America, for that matter. If you visit wweek.com over the coming days, you’ll find our coverage of results from the first ranked-choice election in city history—featuring a pivotal mayor’s race and 12 open seats on an expanded City Council—as well as ballot measures with the potential to reshape Oregon life and commerce. If the nation’s nervous breakdown sparks tumult in Portland’s streets, we’ll address that, too. We don’t know any more about the future than you do, but we bet it’s going to be an eventful week.
Be honest: Wouldn’t you rather be in the woods, hunting mushrooms?
We thought you might. That’s why we decided to feature a palate cleanser in the form of an excerpt from Lola Milholland’s memoir Group Living and Other Recipes.
