Walking and Picking Mushrooms in the Forest

in Wednesday Walk2 years ago (edited)

I escaped Stockholm last Thursday and am currently once again spending some time at my mom's. I can't stand to be in my flat at the moment. The construction is killing me with all the noise. But my mom is also turning 70 today and I'm actually off on a day trip with her (I hope to post about that later). And next weekend my brother who lives in Stockholm as well will come and we will celebrate. I feel slightly optimistic that our relationship can improve (it has been nonexistent for many years).

But before all this, I want to post about a walk in the forest from 2 days ago. We went to our own forest, it's always a nice feeling (my mom owns some forest land).

Autumn is upon us. The colors have started to shift. But it's not only due to the changing of the seasons, it's also very dry outside.

Dry but also green.

This is a good spot to find funnel chanterelles (also known as yellowfoot) but it's still a bit early in the season.

We managed to find some though 🙂 These are great to use dried, give so much taste.

It felt so good to connect with nature.

I guess everyone knows that this mushroom, fly agaric, is poisonous. But it looks good in pictures 🙂

This one is included also just for the picture 🙂

Here we sat down and enjoyed the view and nature for a while. Even though it wasn't sunny, the weather was very pleasant. Not too cold and not too warm.

The wood sorrel reminded me of how I used to pick and eat it as a child when I was off on adventures in the forest.

We also found some chantarelles and slimy spike-cap (the latter unfortunately not really visible in the picture).

It was a lovely day spent mostly outdoors (we actually went for another walk in another forest before this walk but I felt it would be too much to post about that too). I'm definitely enjoying spending time in nature and I hope the situation with all the construction back in Stockholm improves soon.

Cool. Looks like a profitable hunt. Beautiful pictures.

Thanks for stopping by.

Mushroom hunting wasn't the main goal of this excursion but a nice bonus 🙂

Your photos are just stunning!!!

I didn't know you had a brother. I'm curious!

Flyagaric aren't really poisonous. That's a myth. Its all how you prepare them.

Thank you 🙂

I have 2 brothers. I'm sure you must have heard of my youngest brother? I mention him from time to time in my posts. My other brother is also younger but our relationship is complicated. We haven't really been on speaking terms for the last 10-15 years depending on how you measure it. I was grieving for a long time but I'm way past that by now.

Flyagaric aren't really poisonous. That's a myth. Its all how you prepare them.

Well, they are mildly poisonous if you don't prepare them right. That's poisonous to me, haha. But you are right, maybe it's a bit exaggerated.

Wishing your mum a very Happy Birthday

Such beautiful scenery there a nice mix of colors and the mushrooms and moss

Thanks for joining Wednesday Walk :), I truly enjoy exploring the world virtually each Wednesday seeing walks from all around the globe and feeling I am there and experiencing it all myself, such as I did in your post just now :)

Thank you very much 🙂

We had a lovely day yesterday 🌸
