it doesn’t take much figurin’ to figure out that i like toadstools, mushrooms and most cute fungi. a lot. here is a little sampling of specimens i found growing around the house.
those little wooden toadstools hold tiddly winks.
i found these in the back yard after the rain a few days ago!
i also love to eat mushrooms. a lot. i’m not much of a cook, i just sautee them in a little olive oil. one tasty dish i like to make is mac & cheese with sauteed mushrooms and garlic. mmmm. if you have any quick and easy mushroom favorites, let me know!
hey, i was recently taking pics of some of my mushroomy things too :)
i want to photo some of my different small collections…. :)
i like your ’shrooms!
yeah, mushrooms are pretty darn cute, i want to see your pics! i have been coveting these cute mushroom shelves over here
yes, those shelves are great. drool drool. i bought the little mushroom magnets from there. that shop is full of cute stuff.
i’ll put my pics on flickr when i’m set.
Hi Hannah!
We sometimes stand some mushrooms on their “heads” ( so that the stems are sticking up) and set them on a baking sheet or pan. Take a dab of butter and schmear it on the part where the gills would be ( good grief, I think I need a botany book here!) though I understand that if the gills are showing your mushrooms may be heading a bit on the not so fresh side… anyhoo have your oven heated but before you stick them in sprinkle them with soy sauce . Cook till heated through and enjoy!
thanks, that sounds easy and tasty! (everything is tasty with butter on it) i will have to try it. hmm, i’m getting hungry now…
OMG I LOVE SHROOMs
