Take a walk on the Wild Side

Yesterday red mushrooms were blooming in a our lawn.

Brown mushrooms were popping up along the roadside.

 Look at the pattern on this mushroom.

Remember the cheese boards I made.

Nature is a wonderful inspiration.

 Someone already harvested this one fallen over so quickly.

 There's magic to be seen in the lowly mushroom if you look.

Take a walk on the wild side. Right outside your door there's beauty and mystery waiting to be discovered. White rabbit to you today. Thanks for reading and for all your comments.

  1. white rabbit to you too though it is now evening on this side of the world. Mushrooms can be lovely though also deadly if you eat the wrong ones!

  6. I took the Penland tour of mushrooms the first year I was there. The variety was amazing. You’d have loved it.

  7. Great photos of such lovely little beauties! I was 30 before I could enjoy store bought ones, and doubt I'll ever eat one that's wild. Rabbit rabbit to you too.

  8. Hi Barb, thanks, you just didn't like them till you were 30 ? I'll never eat one that's wild either unless they're morels or chantrelles and someone who is an expert attests to them.

  11. Wonderful photos~~~wild mushrooms are a big business here in Oregon. With COPD I can no longer eat mushrooms, guess because it is a fungus, loved them raw~~~oh well as we get older we must give things up seems our bodies let us know

  15. Generally, I walk over a mushroom without thought or give them a kick. Brown morel mushrooms are like hidden treasures, from my childhood memories.
    Such lovely photos!

  16. Did you know I wrote a book called Wild in the Kitchen? I only deal with very few mushrooms...the ones I can positively identify. The others, like you, inspire my art!
