Picking berries :: Daily and Fresh πŸ“· (182/366)

Hello!

Today's post is huge, because I am posting so many photos.

We went to the forest to pick some berries. We took Ninnu with us too. Miro was with his friend so he couldn't come with us.

And I took my camera...


I don't recognise this mushroom, so I'll treat it as if it were poisonous.

The mushrooms have started popping up. I'll have to train Ninnu to search for some chantarelles soon. We saw a few of them, but they were in the middle of the footpath so we decided it's best to leave them be.

Mustakonnanmarja
Baneberry (Actaea spicata)

The Eurasian baneberry is a poisonous berry, so it is best not to pick nor eat them.

Cute still-life in nature. See how the tiny mushroom is growing out from a worm hole.

Vadelma
Raspberry (Rubus idaeus)

Sillihapero
Crab brittlegill(Russula xerampelina)

The mushroom in above photo might be an edible one, a Boletaceae, but it was already party eaten, and I didn't have my mushroom manual (the Internet) with me. Also, we were there for berries, not for mushrooms this time. So didn't take a closer look.

Correction: The mushroom above is actually a crab brittlegill, also known as shrimp mushroom (RussulaΒ xerampelina).

Same goes for the two mushrooms on the left. They actually look quite good. I wonder if they are.


Cool roots...

Pohjanpunaherukka
Nordic currant (Ribes spicatum)

Konnanmarja
Baneberry (Actaea spicata)

Still poisonous, don't eat the baneberries.

Ninnu got a bit bored while the others were picking berries.

I wonder what kind of a fly this one is.

I took a photo of a flower that was seeding...

...and Ninnu photobombed the shot.



A moldy mushroom...

I got home a bit earlier because I wanted to get the photos done sooner, but then it took me quite a while. And my computer decided to hang in the process too. Thankfully I eventually got the photos done!

The "yellow" ones are actually white currants (Ribes rubrum), it is a mutation of the red currant. The berries were promptly put into the freezer.

Well. I guess this is the end of the post. I hope you liked the photos as much as I did!

See ya all Tomorrow!

i like your post and here is your !BEER!
btw. feel free to share your mushroom finds, questions on IDs etc at the Fungi Lovers group.
the 1st one probably is Dryads Saddle, its quite edible good mushroom!
Russulas are good, unless they have green caps or pink stems.. hot the top grade shroom as Boleto, but still!

the brown caps might be Boleto, but your pic makes not possible to say it for sure.

awesome harvest!

Thank you! I definitely will keep that community in mind when I find cool mushrooms! I know just about the basic essentials when it comes to mushrooms. That is I know what definitely not to take with me, and a couple of edible mushrooms that are most easy to recognize; chantarelles, yellowfoots and black trumpets mainly.

My wife knows plenty of mushrooms though, so she's a lifesaver if it ever comes to finding edible mushrooms.

We Finns are crazy, and we also eat this mushroom, it is delicious, but deadly.

o! Gyromitra esculenta, i know that! I made a post about differences between this shroom and his edible 'synonim' -- morels.

Gyromitra is not deadly :) it is considered toxic, and indeed in more warm-climate countries, it contains some deadly toxins within, and in our, less warmer climate, they are nice tasty mushrooms without that toxin. weird? absolutely! shrooms are not that simple (well, and they do not pretend to be simple, hehe!)

btw I am from St.Petersburg; we are almost neightbours (well, on the world scale!)

Yes practically neighbours, only 345km in between. That's about a 4Β½ hour drive.

Mushrooms are weird. And they are still very much unexplored territory even in sciences. I wonder what they are going to discover.

btw: believe me or not, but one of FL moderators, @davidgermano, has mushrooms as its science field! if you are curious to ask, you may probably approach him with a question -- what does he doing with shrooms :P
