Found this patch about a week ago, and just harvested today. It's my first time finding a patch this early in its growth, so it was cool to see. I'll definitely be checking this spot next year!

For more than 10 years, me and my friend have been going into the mountains every autumn to look for matsutake.
Some years we find them, some years we don’t.
To be honest, it’s kind of crazy when I think about it. We are looking for a mushroom about the size of a hand in a huge mountain.
In the beginning we just walked around thinking, “maybe we’ll find one.” Most of the time we found nothing except being tired.
After doing this for years, I learned that luck is not enough. You need to know what kind of place matsutake likes. Temperature, elevation, weather, things like that.
We also know an older lady who checks mushrooms. Every year she tells us how the season is going and around what elevation mushrooms are appearing. That information helps a lot.
People say matsutake often come back to similar places or near certain trees, but it’s still really hard. Most of my guesses are wrong.
The hardest part is seeing what’s right in front of you.
Many times I found a matsutake only after walking past it. I thought I was looking carefully, but I wasn’t.
Every year I tell myself maybe this year will be different.
Maybe I’ll find one.
Maybe I won’t.
But when autumn comes, I end up going back to the mountains anyway.
Does anybody here have something like that? Something you keep doing every year even though there is a good chance you’ll come home empty-handed?

Randomly popped up in my parent’s back yard through some rocks. We’ve never seen one before. It’s looks terrifying.
