Anticipating / anticipated

Morels are highly distinctive and especially delicious mushrooms that pop up briefly at the height of spring and are found in woodlands where one can also see spring wildflowers and new foliage. The experience of searching for and finding these mushrooms is one in which one is immersed in a world of new growth, where one enjoys the sights, sounds, smells, and anticipating taste.



Why is 'anticipating' used in the sentence? I think 'anticipated' is better but I don' know why the writer used it

Ex) anticipating taste = taste anticipates (?)

Ex) anticipated taste = taste is anticipated (?)
