“What is art? Nature concentrated.”
—Honore de Balzac |
"There are the true mycophiles ('fungus lovers'): those who are fascinated by all types of fungi regardless of edibility; and those who are mycophages ('fungus eaters'), otherwise known as pothunters, a slightly disparging term used by mycophiles to label mushroom hiunters who are only interested by what they can eat and take home for the pot."
—Russ Cohen ( Massachusetts Wildlife ) I wonder if there's a name for mushroom photo hunters? |
When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the universe.
—John Muir (1838-1914) |
The Mushroom is the Elf of Plants
The mushroom is the elf of plants, At evening it is not; At morning in a truffled hut It stops upon a spot As if it tarried always; And yet its whole career Is shorter than a snake's delay, And fleeter than a tare. —Emily Dickinson |
The "Mushroom Planet" is covered in various types of mushrooms and is populated by little green people.
—The Wonderful Flight to the Mushroom Planet by Eleanor Cameron |

Quantitat de bolets de tota mena que m'encurioseixen. Són tan reals les imatges que crec que estic a punt d'agafar-los. Felicitats. Amount of mushrooms of every kind that they make curious for me. The images are so real that I believe that I am to taking them about. Happiness.

You are a true mycophile pp! There is something magical and fantastic about these strange plants — no wonder they play such a significant rtole in folklore and mythology. Nicely photographed!

What a fun hunt. Looks like you found quite a few interesting treasures. The fourth looks like it's slathered with chocolate sauce! How nice that the rain held off for your hike!
