Photos: mushrooms!

[winter]

I do love mushroom-gathering, and due to weather conditions I didn't get to do it much this year at the lakeside. I jumped at an invitation to do so in the forests near Warsaw, and while our haul wasn't too impressive - we got there a little too late in the day - I got a lot of photos of the inedible mushrooms people left behind :)





This would be Boris, my friend's Siberian Husky. He's a cuddly sweetie.



My favourite kind of poisonous mushroom, simply on the grounds of its prettiness.



This one isn't poisonous, just doesn't taste very nice.



There's a way to make those edible, but it's a lot of work. Best to leave them to look nice in the wild :)



Up close, some mushrooms look strange indeed.



...and some are even stranger.



This is a baby version of the most poisonous mushroom in Poland - 1 is enough to kill half a dozen people IIRC. But it's still cute :)



This one is very poisonous too. No idea why it's hiding under moss like that.

I know, I'm the same - they're CUTE :D But really, not lapdogs in the slightest - Boris gets four+ hours of exercise per day and that's borderline for keeping a husky in good condition IIRC, not to mention that between two people with full-time jobs it doesn't leave them time for much else to do. Plus he's miserable during heatwaves.

(Grooming might be a good idea. Maybe then he wouldn't bloody shed all over me :P)

No, not lap dogs. Though there's this husky breeding centre in the Carpathians, since they started sleigh races here a couple years ago. Still, I wouldn't want to torment a poor husky to my life. Hells, I can't even own a cat... though I swore I'd get one if I ever manage to get my own apartment.

(It's shedding time for dogs, at least in Romania, so that explains it. My aunt's dogs are leaving hair everywhere as well.)
