We found Belgian Truffles!

Filed Under Mushrooms | Leave a Comment

Ok, to get the record straight: these are not Belgian truffles, but they are eatable mushrooms. I guess the real name is Motley Parasol but there I am not sure.

Now you will tell me: how can you be sure to eat this mushroom since you don’t even know the name of the mushroom?

That’s because I have been coming to this place already for years and have been eating them ever since :-)

Motley Parasol

Motley Parasol? No odor!

I have seen quite a few mushrooms similar to the ones in the above picture, but those mushrooms come with some pungent odor. The mushrooms in the above picture have no odor.

I love to simply fry them in a pan in some butter (oh, it’s almost winter, we can use the fat!) and they taste a bit like the meat of a calf.

More autumn pictures

Which means more mushrooms as the dark black-brown leaves on the ground are contrasted by the hell light mushrooms growing here and there:

Mushrooms without a name:
don’t try to eat what you don’t know!

It’s quite amazing that the size of living creatures becomes smaller when the conditions are getting more though. In summer all plants are tall, in autumn the few mushrooms around are quite small compared to what was growing just a few weeks ago.

Anyway, I found what I was looking for: eatable mushrooms: see picture tomorrow!

Hunting for truffles

Filed Under Mushrooms | Leave a Comment

Gosh, I just wished I was living in Italy, took my dog and go on a truffle hunt…

Although there are hardly any flowers left and leaves have been falling from the trees, nature is far from resting.

It’s not only us cleaning up our garden: nature is cleaning up herself and making sure the best cleaners for rotten vegetation multiply now: we are talking mushrooms.

Autumn mushrooms: do not eat what you don’t know!

I love to go out for a walk and for a change just look at the ground, hoping to find beautiful mushrooms… Today they are far from colourful, but still, it’s nice to know that autumn isn’t that boring if you know where to look :-)

Noticed the border around the mushroom picture? Something I learned from my Free Paint Shop Pro Tutorial
