A River of Mushrooms
Spent the weekend at my parents farm and grabbed the opportunity to take some photos as proof that Autumn has finally arrived here in Portugal. I spent the whole weekend taking photos of the plant life and the animal life (my dog), but mostly with my old camera, the kind that still requires a roll of film, so I'll have to get those developed first before I can post them. So here are two photos of the many types of mushrooms that seem to sprout up everywhere on the farm. the picture above looks like a river of mushrooms, while the photo below just shows a little group of different types of mushrooms. When I've had the other photos developed and put on CD I'll post some pictures of these other types of wild mushrooms that grow on the land that look like cow dung. I'd never seen anything like it, so I took a number of photos, becuase I just knew nobody would believe me. Apparently we also have a lot of truffles on the land, a neighbour of ours has a dog that sniffs them out, I might just have to teach my mum's dog to search them out as well. A guy down the road also found truffles, the white ones, on his land and sold them for over € 1000 per 100 grams to some restaurants in the next town over, I guess if we can find some, we might try selling them as well, especially if they make that much money!!! I'll have to see what other kind of mushrooms I can find next time I go down to the farm. I picked a couple of them so that my mum could use them in decorations around the house. We don't know if they're poisonous or not, so we don't dare eat them. We'll have to find a book about mushrooms to know which ones we can and which ones we can't eat.
