Rather, Cronkite, Couric, Morels. CBS 60 Minutes hunts harvesters

It has 106 Emmy awards and, based on ratings, claims to be the most successful show in US television history. Now, it wants to talk mushrooms.

60 Minutes, the CBS news magazine show, is looking for Northwest Territories morel mushroom pickers.

Show staff say they are in the ‘preliminary’ stages of a report on this year’s morel season and the mushroom harvesting community – and they’re looking to get in touch with anyone who spent this season out picking in the NWT wilderness.

If you’re interested, get in touch with us and we’ll put you in contact with the CBS 60 Minutes team.

Maybe leave out the part about spinal cords.
