oh yea.....i wouldn't be biting into it. i do see some that look like they have been chewed on by some small animal though.

My dad taught me how to pick & forage wild shrooms. We generally went for the Boletus types, as they were plentiful and super yummy to eat. Not to mention safe. We never ate them raw, as they often had small worms coming up through the stem. We used to pick then dry them. Trust me, the dried ones you find in supermarkets do not taste as good.

i've never picked shrooms. but i've picked/pulled other food, and yea.....that fresh makes a huge difference. :thu:
 
Talking of mushrooms, I walked past a couple of tree stumps yesterday and I wish I had my camera - there were hundreds of tiny little mushrooms covering them, I've not seen anything like it . Didn't even have my phone camera on me. It was like a couple of miniature shroom forests

A couple of pics from a park two days ago

Went out to dinner last night. Shot this from the patio. The check came to enough to buy an American Fender.

Went for a walk up the Clyde Valley earlier today, about 14km or so. Still overdoing things in lightroom :embarrassed:



There are lots of waterfalls - four main ones that make up the falls of clyde - and the autumn leaves made everything look nice. Was a bit overcast most of the time. William Wallace hid out in a cave by the river after killing the sheriff of Lanark, although the cave is inaccessible

This is the remains of Corra Castle, a 15th century castle. It is surround by sheer cliffs into the gorge on three sides

This is New Lanark, an UNESCO World Heritage Site. I'll rip the description from wikipedia :) - It was founded in 1786 by David Dale, who built cotton mills and housing for the mill workers. Dale built the mills there in a brief partnership with the English inventor and entrepreneur Richard Arkwright to take advantage of the water power provided by the only waterfalls on the River Clyde. Under the ownership of a partnership that included Dale's son-in-law, Robert Owen, a Welsh philanthropist and social reformer, New Lanark became a successful business and an epitome of utopian socialism as well as an early example of a planned settlement and so an important milestone in the historical development of urban planning.
