Tuesday morning, July 4, I went for a hike at Peace Valley Park near Doylestown, Bucks County, Pennsylvania. In the previous post, I showed some wildflowers; this post is specializing in wild fungae.
The picture above shows the top side; the one below shows the bottom side. Both have their own glory. I love the milky white of the bottom.
Neat, I took a couple of photos of mushrooms a week ago. The moring my FNL died. have not uploaded to the puter yet. I will soon. Thanks for the various forms of life you share.
Thanks, ma beck. Nature has so much to treat us to. Good to hear from you.
Hi, cergie. I love looking at mushrooms; but I never pick them to eat. I don't have the knowledge to know which mushrooms are poisonous and which are edible. But I love mushrooms with many vegetables, salads, or soups.
Hi, paige. Glad you enjoy these pictures from nature. I like variety though perhaps my blog would draw more people if I stuck to a constant theme. But I view my blog more as a journal of life's experiences.
The mushroom I prefer is called "chanterelle en tuba" and look like a yellow and brown tuba of course (mainly under hornbeam )! And another one "trompette de la mort" *death trumpet* (coniferous) ! Black mushroom looking like a... trumpet ! Both of them delicious cooked with parsley and garlic... Champignon de Paris: very good too but not so good (button mushroom at a market place ! ouaf ouaf !) ;-D
It's possible to grow button mushroom ( you need just cellar or cavern + dung. Horse one is the best !) but neither chanterelle nor trompette de la mort !
Hi, san nakji. I leave harvesting mushrooms to others and buy mine at the store.
Hi, andrea. I think nature is where we learn art.
Hi, cergie. I'm sure it can be fun to grow one's own mushrooms. But given where I live and my hectic life schedule, I think I'll leave that to others. :)
I love the white step fungus that sometimes grows on old trees where I live. Some of them get so big that a friend of mine uses them as canvases for her paintings.
Heh, I recently discovered some smaller versions growing off the bottom of my porch. I knew then that this was the summer we'd be replacing our porch! :)
Hi, spider girl. Thanks for coming by. These kinds of fungus always attract my attention. They're so beautiful except when they're growing on your porch. :)
My main blog: Ramblings generally focuses on telling a story via photography and words. These stories generally center around family, nature, and church although sometimes just about life in general. I also have a blog entitled Fingerprints. I post less frequently in Fingerprints. It serves as a catch all of anything that does not go in my Ramblings blog including memes, quizzes, and reports on books and movies.
The road awaits
Time doesn't
The road beckons
Time steps forward
Will we move
In step with time?
Will we step forward
Shaping our time?
Will we take time
To see the present?
Will we explore the past
And understand our heritage?
Will we laugh?
Will we wonder?
Will we touch?
Will we feel?
Time flies on
We have choices
Shall we go fast?
Shall we go slow?
We shall go forward
But we will choose the pace
We may dance with all our heart
Or bathe ourselves in a setting sun

Gorgeous, Tim!
I like mushroom... at table. These ones sure are very pretty, but I prefer not to cook them ! EHEHEH !
