Pics from around the yard
|
| |
I'm currently pretty much limited to foraging around the yard until I fix my vehicle. Things are starting to get more active after the rains. Nothing very worthwhile except the chance to practice photo skills, and get my knees muddy. Here's a couple of finds from this morning:

Another Russula
|
| |
One displaying the common red & white color scheme. Taste was neither acrid or remarkable, but rather bland. No noticeable aroma either. I left it in the woods.

Smoked Russula and noodles
|
| |
Cut up a smoked Russula to eat with ramen noodles and kimchi, and a teaspoon of mango chutney. Mixed with the bowl of noodles, the smokey mushroom flavor became deliciously subtle.

Periodical Cicada and mushrooms?
|
| |
Brood II of 17-year periodical cicadas have emerged and are out in force in the forest around my home. Seeing the multitude of fairly large emergence hole, presumably descending down to live tree roots, I'm wondering if this assists in colonization by mycorrhizal fungi of the roots?

Purple Russula edible?
|
| |
Finding a lot of these purple Russulas in the woods around my home. They are good size, with a pleasantly mild acidic taste. Will try smoking them if no one can think of a reason not to eat them.

No finds yet
|
| |
Went looking for morels in earnest today. Saw lots of people in the forest looking, but no one found anything. Or, at least they didn't admit to finding anything. New foliage is still pretty sparse. Just swollen buds and small, immature leaves, which allows you to look pretty deep into the forest. When I say nothing, I mean *nothing*. Even the... more »
