On an overcast but hot morning, a mushroom hunt began with a car ride to a secret spot near the home of West Virginia master naturalists Shawn Means and Amy McLaughlin. The pair run a boutique vacation rental called Lafayette Flats in Fayetteville, next to the New River Gorge Natural Park and Preserve.
After I recently shared some love for a great little Venezuelan restaurant in Elkins, reader Shawn Means wrote in to do the same thing for another one in Summersville.
