Yep, occasionally a question comes to mind.... dad passed early, 56 yo, Sept 1993.... mom just 2 years ago but she lived a couple states away.
Anyhoo! I'd encourage anyone who used to enjoy mushroom hunting once before to looking into going again.... There are so many resources and references now, lots of groups, easier ways to meet people with similar interests.... My dogs love it too!
If it's the memories of people who have passed, think of them smiling as you remember them. They'd like to see us happy doing the things we do.
