[goosehd]

Yep, for the idea.

[Giles]

Hve fun

@Giles ..after 10 years, Laura has finally decided on a backsplash for the kitchen.  Redoing the lights, moving switches is step 1, then fixing holes, repainting, tiling, grouting…..

[Chap]

Have a great weekend everyone….

Looks like quince will be ready to harvest soon

[Nik]

@Giles:

Nice hat…..

Yep…

@Chap:

@Chap  I was tempted to say that little cutie (dog) steals the show, but not with that hat … 

[Chap]

She always steels the show… but her cuteness is just camo, she can be pretty maleficent

[ARNC]

@Chap I also went to see the trees (but without the stunning hat and haul of mushrooms). One tree clearly wasn’t too pleased to see me but another was much more accommodating. I just sat there surrounded by green for over an hour until my batteries were recharged.

[Chap]

Very nice @ARNC I do that quite often… always helpful after a busy day at work. The Japanese call it Shinrin Yoku - Forest bathing

I hadn’t come across the specific term, but I know trees are good for me.

I know it’s getting boring…

It’s not @Chap , I love these mushroom posts even though I know next to nothing about them. Seems like we have very little knowledge/books/recipes about tropical shrooms than temperate ones. Please keep the mushroom pics, comments and dishes coming!

I love the idea of foraging for mushrooms.  I’ve never tried.  Not much in the way of options out here though.  I could forage for tumbleweeds maybe.

wouldn't expect any mushroom where you live @Matt we had a very dry summer I am almost daily in the forests around our house and no single mushroom could be spotted. Now after some rainy days they seem to pop up everywhere…

@motojobobo I am happy I know a bit about those growing here… we have about 15.000 different species of mushrooms in Austria, only a few are eatable about a dozen is even toxic. I only get those I can identify clearly... don't know anything about mushrooms growing in other parts of the world.

@Chap Are there truffles in your area?

There are… black ones can be found. But you of course need a trained dog to find them. I have friends with two truffle dogs from Italy and they do find quite a lot.
