bartering at the Boulder famers market

I love porcini.  They're quite yummy.  The worms agree.  The deer agree.  And the farmers agree.  We've made them into meals for friends, gifts to neighbors, dried them for future use, traded them for fancy restaurant dinners, and most recently, bartered for food that we can't easily find in the wild.  Some of our favorites include: farm fresh eggs, several different kinds of goat cheeses (including one that was literally bathed in local Boulder IPA), curly kale, black kale, tomatoes, red cabbage, onions, parsley, and peaches.  We've used porcini 2 weeks in a row to get what we want from the Boulder farmers market.  It seems to me that mushrooms are the new cash.  This definitely leaves a good taste in my mouth!
