Well, this was so awesome! I didn't expect to find this when I came here, and I purposely did not answer as I am mostly a mushroom noob. Yes, I just made that up!
These are amazing shots and I bow down to your photography and your skills in identifying them.
Thank you so much!
this is not a problem at all! if you are new to it and uneducated, you definitely can rely on the stores, where you buy supplies! and come here just to enjoy the visuals and communication with other good Hiveans 😎 here is a hot slice of mushroom !PIZZA to you, Denise.
Hehe!! Thank you so much! When I was young, my great-grandmother what take us into the woods and she would forage. I always thought it was such a gift. But she left too early for me to learn much and my mother had nine children so she did not have time to play in the woods that she would tell my great-grandmother. LOL long story short it was a missed opportunity but I have always remembered and loved that. My dad is good though but he only knew and few and those are the only ones who would pick of course. I do enjoy reading your post and many from the community so I hope you don't mind I know really nothing but I do enjoy looking and yes. Mine come from the store because I like being alive. LOL thank you!
long story short -- any information is forgotten if you do not use it. in 8-10 years everything can (and will be) completely erased! my grandfather was from the village and he have taught me how to make fires. I have not lost this skill, and now I am trying to betray it further - to my daughter ...
Most excellent. Most everything that I learned from my grandparents and my parents I passed on to my children. Or really still teaching but it's amazing to see how many kids their age and older haven't a clue how to do anything on their own. They rely on buying it for somebody else to do it for them. Because I was not fully immersed in how to pick oh, my parents didn't want me going and I guess I understand that now and I'm okay with it but I still find it interesting. Good luck in passing on your skills. I think it's of the utmost importance.
That's very true. Even my parents grew up in this tin food generation. Still fighting my habits. I guess after the second world war and specially in the 70s, the FAO really got us dependent on their paradigm of unnatural food consumerism? We also gave all our trust to the state to run our affairs then, hence gave away responsibility. This not only coincides with the rise of certain chemical corporations, but also with the change of the monetary system during the removal of the gold standard by the Nixon administration. These Chemical companies started food divisions that did so good back then and are doing even better now. All this conditioning separated our relationship to natural foods. Things like starch became healthy. If we think we experienced some perennial inflation, wait for whats imminent. I believe there will be a huge rise in food prices. Specially natural foods. It's interesting how some knowledge has still managed to prevail and how older generations can still pass this on to us, because their grandparents didn't give in to this madness. Living off the fiscal budgeds and government subsidies, I really wonder how we consumers can also unknowingly support these companies. So much garbage food with coloring agents. Confectioners glazeResinous glaze made from bug poop, ice cream from Beaver anal glands, bubble gum from Sheep secretions, just to name a few. Many of us don't see that are feeding a huge structure of chemical companies and food corporations. Political lobbyism and media monopolies still controls the narrative for the majority. Finally removed from these tentacles, we are gladly experiencing a revolution since around ten years. Crypto is one of them and very related to this.
And thank you for the pizza!
always! 🍕 my pleasure. 😊
Wow, what a kind comment. It's so nice of you stopping by. I was absent for a while, but I remembered your account and your poetry. Coming from someone with a talent like you, that means a lot to me. I didn't start with mushrooms that long ago, but I guess I say their latin names in my dreams. A very intimate connection.
