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!

Image

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

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

here are some other cute mushrooms i found...

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:

i'm glad you keep posting these, actually. i find it really heartwarming to read about your mushroom adventures :)

the mental image of owls being chased off by a tiny bird is wonderful
