Wishi, A Cherokee Delicacy

Traditionally, Cherokee people learn how and what to forage from our elders. Come along as Cherokee elder Loretta Shade takes us to her family’s favorite place to find the mysterious mushroom known as wishi.

I remember my Mom taking me out when I was little to hunt for mushrooms 💖 Very precious memories

I love Chrrokee culture so very much. You're all such warm and nurturing people. Thank you for sharing your ways. If it's not inappropriate to ask, where could I find the prayer she said over the Wishi?

[@Shannon71172]

This is GREAT to know. I live exactly ten miles from the Rez in Bryson City NC, my husband is Cherokee. We are looking forward to go Wishi hunting as I absolutely love ❤️ all kinds of Mushrooms. God Bless. 🙏🏼❤️
