My Actifitivity: October 16 2022

in Actifit2 years ago

 

Sunday.

Yesterday's actifitivity.

After a few days without really going into the forest it was about time to catch up with that. The weather wasn't too rainy and so I got to enjoy a lengthy afternoon walk into the woods.

As luck would have it, I came across another one of those "flaky stemmed witch porelings" which is a literal translation of the german name of this dotted stem bolete.

 

 

It doesn't look like much from the top and it can be kind of hard to spot. Its name starts making sense when looking at the stem and underside.

I think "flaky" is already a much better descriptor than "dotted" and the intense red do make it look a bit bewitching, too.

 

 

The real magic, though, starts when you cut or break it in half and the flesh starts turning blue withing just a few seconds.

 

 

I featured one of those in a previous report where I kept it kind of open ended as a call-for-engagement to talk about it's toxicity but that didn't spark any comments at all. So here it is, despite it's spooky name and eerie colours, this is an edible mushroom!

Not so much these sulfur tufts overgrowing the mossy stump below. Those are only nice too look at.

 

 

Thanks for your time!

This! I did not expect that. And the I didn't even expect it to be edible! Wonderful nature strikes again! !PIZZA (because i don't have a mushroom tip)

mushroom pizza... yummy!

I would NEVER have guessed that one's edible. Have you tried them? It looks more like 'spiritual medicine' than simple and edible.
I'm hoping we get enough rain here to get some more mushroom growth before winter sets in. The drought we've been having has left the forest with zero fungi. There have been none for almost a month now! I'm fulfilling my newly formed fungi curiosity vicariously through your posts. 😊

They kinda taste like porcini do, not too far from store bought button mushrooms. It does lose all those colours when cooked, though, so it doesn't look as exciting anymore.

Blue-ing can indeed be a good indicator for spiritual medicine. But in this case, it's just oxidation of the pigments and not a psilocybin breakdown reaction.
