Autumn in Dresden Dölzschen

Today I hade a little rendezvous with Eddie. You wonder who Eddie is? Well, Eddie is a little pig. 🙂 And today I met him for a photoshoot in the park. But before these pictures go online here a few snapshots of this beautiful autumn day, which was probably the last for this year. Enjoy the colors!

Seasonal 2: Collecting more Mushrooms

15 Oct

Another autumn is here, which means also it’s mushroom season again! This year we did not find as many celps but therefore I could expand my collection of inedible and partly poisonous specimens (which is btw. a very good way to learn and study them). Alas, now I just have to figure how to preserve their color and shape. For once I succeeded at drying the fly agaric caps but due to the cold and rainy weather the others unfortunately went moldy. Dryer and warmer air would be needed. Well, next year I will have another try. In the meantime test your knowledge in mycology – can you name all specimens on the photos below?
