More Mushrooms

Filed Under Mushrooms | Leave a Comment

Nature is constantly cleaning up. It’s just that when everything grows in summer or flowers in spring, we just don’t pay attention to it.

Oak tree: bark with mushroom

Take this mushroom: it’s been standing there for several years looking at the size of it, yet only now I take a picture of it. (And I should have removed the grass first I can see now…)

Now when you live in a 4 season climate: nature is kind of slow in cleaning up. A dead tree takes years here to be removed by insects and mushrooms, where in the rainforest of the tropics it only takes a few months!

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!
