still on the lookout for fungi. This one was at the base of a big gum tree and I had to sit down on the ground to get a good look. Must have been a funny sight.
Ha ha must have been funny to shoot like that but you got a wonderful shot. I love mushrooms and do you forage them? When I go to the rural areas, we go foraging especially in the monsoons. There is a simple test to check if mushrooms are edible just soak them for 5 mins in a solution of 1 teaspoon of turmeric powder in a litre of water. If they turn blue they are poisonous discard them. If the color stays unchanged they are edible.
I would have loved to sneak a shot at you while you were down there concentrating on the fungus. Sometimes my wife says I'm going crazy. Love the clarity on the frills.
@anjalikoli we're not game to pic mushrooms around here just in case. I prefer to buy mine at the supermarket :) doesnt the turmeric make them go yellow?
Thankyou all for taking the time to look and comment. It is very encouraging. I am always on the hunt for interesting fungi
