nonnies i just want to show you the photo i took of a toadstool (amanita muscaria) because i made it my goal in april to find one this summer as a way to keep me on track with my depression and i FINALLY FOUND ONE and it was as cute and perfect as i had hoped it would be!
my next goal is to find a bears head mushroom in the fall because that shit is tasty man, apparently it tastes like lobster
also last night on my hike i saw three (!!) barred owls hanging out in the path. they flew into a tree and just checked me out for like thirty minutes. it was magical
my depression can go fuck itself i'm doing great, Thanks Nature
ooh this is so adorable!! there are no mushrooms (or owls, or... anything pretty much) where i live (too urban), it's cool to see this kind of stuff :D
i actually live in an urban city too, but we're lucky enough to have a river valley and lots of hiking trails right in the middle of the city! it's been super super rainy here too, like unnaturally, so i picked a good year for this lol
a river valley sounds lovely o: omg. for some reason those mushrooms remind me of pops! NATURAL MUSHROOM POPS. i wonder if are they edible? if i were left in a forest to live for a while i'd probably end up eating all toxic things ahaha
aren't they cute!? they reminded me of these chocolates i got from japan: http://www.tofucute.com/images/693_meiji_apollo_bottom.jpg
they aren't edible tho, most of the little ones like this aren't. some are super toxic, others will just give you a trip lol. i haven't really found any good edibles yet
tonight i did not find a bear's head mushroom BUT i found one of its cousins, the comb tooth mushroom! i'm unable to eat the one i took home with me because i put it in a basket with other mushrooms of unknown toxicity but i'm excited! this means there is good news for the fut

ure. plus it's such a pretty little mushroom and it smells really good. basically no bugs or mites either which is good for me because i have enough anxiety about bringing wild mushrooms inside because of all the little buggies
also we saw barred owls again!!! this time they were being chased by a small little bird. maybe they tried to eat its babies i don't know, but it was a funny sight.
and some bonus little cuties: http://i.imgur.com/lNb2I4H.png
sorry if this is annoying i just have no one to talk to about this kinda stuff irl lol
