What’s the secret of finding mushrooms?

Well, the first thing is to go out and look for them.
The second thing is to go out and look for them in places where they grow.
I go to the forest.
There are lots of trees in the forest.
My technique is to walk around the forest and look for mushrooms.
The trick is to look very low, at ground level.
The first time I went I was looking too high.
I didn’t find any that day.
When I see a Mushroom, I walk towards it.
If I am on my own, I bend over and pick it up.
If there is someone with me, I point to it and shout
Mushroom, Mushroom, until the other people see it.
Then I bend over, pick it up and hold it in the air for a few seconds.
Sometimes the mushroom is hiding under some leaves.
It is very difficult to see mushrooms under leaves.
If I see a pile of leaves, I use a stick to move them.
Then I look to see if there is a mushroom hiding there.
Most of the time there isn’t.
So I kick the leaves and carry on looking.
