After days of rain, the sunshine is causing mushrooms to shoot up from the ground all over the place. Sigmund Freud, visibly relieved that he managed to handle the gathering of psychoanalysts with dignity and good grace, goes mushrooming on Sundary with his family. They all have their little wicker baskets with them, covered with checked clothes, and their eyes are fixed on the mossy ground of the Vienna Woods. Sometimes they go to the Semmering mountains too, where everyone whispers about the love nest that Mahler’s window, Alma, is building out there for herself and the chaotic painter Kokoschka. But Freud and his family drawn to the woods, not the summer residences. The children slip into their dirndls and shorts, Freud into his lederhosen, his green jacket and the hat with the gamsbart, and then the hung begins. Freud leads the mushroom hunters -- and it is always he who, with his eager eye, finds the best mushrooms in the most hidden spots. He then takes a few steps forward, pulls off his hat, throws it over the mushroom and whistles shrilly through his silver pipe, bringing his fellow hunters storming out from the undergrowth. Then, once he has the whole family’s rapt attention, he finally lifts his hat and lets them admire the booty. Anna, his beloved daughter, is usually granted the honour of laying the mushroom in her basket. ~ Page 205
