Mushrooms

Dans le parc de la Vérendrye

This photo was taken in the Réserve faunique La Vérendrye.
It looks like little pearls of pine gum or is it a mushroom that can perspire coffee? That would be like heaven for my boyfriend, a combo of two of his favourite things in the world.

Au mont Kékéko

Delicate mushroooms found on Mount Kekeko, they seem to be floating.

These were found on mount Kekeko as well, they look like bubble gum mushrooms!

Au chalet : lactaire indigo

This is the only one I can name here: lactarius indigo or indigo-milk mushroom in English (I think).
It is supposed to be edible but we did not try it.
I found it particularly beautiful, like a miniature upside down world.

A thank you to my friend Chantal who sent me the last two links!

Have a good weekend!

    hi julie, thank you for those amazing pictures and wonderful links. i didn’t even know there were so many mushrooms. i think they belong to a universe of their own. i enjoyed Now, Forager blog. what a life!
    i wonder if you know about artist ‘chris drury’. he uses ink from mushroom spores to create huge drawings. this is his website: http://www.chrisdrury.co.uk/ however the pictures don’t do justice to his beautiful work. i once saw a book of his work long long ago and the pictures were memorable.
