Mushroom Hunting Cat

Ville the cat accompanies owner Inger Andersson in a forest outside Eskilstuna in Sweden. Ville's passion for mushroom hunting was discovered while he was still a kitten when he found coveted chanterelle mushrooms.
Mrs Andersson says Ville meows when he smells chanterelles and sniffed out 20 quarts of them in the forest last year.

Seems as though the cat can recognize a good thing when he sees/smells it. What happened?? Lions and tigers and bears, oh my. Where the hell is that Wizard??
