Went back to the matsutake - pine #mushroom patch yesterday and brought home six. I left the others to spore out. I have never had this area give me more than 6-8 for the season. I am now at 11 and more should be coming depending on weather. At this young stage they pack more flavour 👇
Besides mushrooms/ gardening - I love to cook on a budget. Pre prepped tonight's meal. I go to Walmart and scan their dates on meat, go back the day before exp. Get it for 1/2. You must go early though. Stuffed CAN peppers/pork/cheese all on sale of course. Cost under 5 for two. I am retired 🤣

I would love to write a children's book, now that I have the time being retired and all. Wouldn't know where to start though? Congratulations...
Thanks to the Convoy community! The local book launch was so much fun. Thanks to my friends at Secret Garden.

Five years ago we came across this within thirty minutes into a hike way up north. It gave us the creeps so we turned around and left. There was only one and maybe they were just fooling around? Who knows?

I spy with my little eye something very tiny and white. Found around ten today while cleaning up the gardens. So tiny and darn cute 🥰

All I could say when I found this was it's VB its VB as I couldn't pronounce the scientific name. Steve just looked at me like "what the heck are you talking about"? Pointed way up in the tree and wow what a beautiful mushroom. I have only found this species once. The gills 👇

Got the new lights for our birch on...lol what a project!! Tons of settings but I just put on solid. Maybe come Christmas I will get adventurous. I like simple things. Not sure how I will hang ornaments on it?

The beautiful Duchess of Cornwall flowering in October. Not going to be any more roses this year as most have finished. Started to cut them back, a bit early I know but it will be less for me to do in January.
Happy #RoseWednesday one and all.

Made a loaf of brioche as a side for tonight's dinner. Super easy recipe and cost around .50/.75 per loaf. Added in some reishi powder supplement for extra added immunity. Flu season is starting early here. Going for our flu shot this Friday.

The incredible Ganoderma tsugae, also known as hemlock varnish shelf on a large hemlock stump. The spores have dropped and is what gives this polypore mushroom the appearance of a thick layer of dust on top.

Not sure how to ask this question ⁉️ To my American friends as a Canadian seeing all this chaos unfold - is it honestly what is happening? I see so many different things and it's getting so confusing.

It's here. I dislike winter ❄️ just listening to Bare Naked Ladies right now - Odds are. I love this Canadian band. Tragically Hip is next. Hopefully it's not a long winter!! We love many other bands too. We are a music couple. ❤️

My poor grand puppy got neutered yesterday. My son sent me this picture this morning in after surgery pyjamas. He doesn't look too happy.

This beautiful scene greeted me today while driving home from town. I live on the top of the hill. I love this time of year when the tamaracks are in their full orange glory and surrounded by bullrushes. Don't like the snow that will be coming soon though.

All I hear since yesterday morning is gun shots going off. It's deer hunting week in Ontario.

Wood blewits - Clitocybe nuda - formerly Lepista nuda are a beautiful and yummy wild mushroom. At a young age they are a striking lilac colour which varies with age. Bugs love them, and I've have never found them without worm holes. Let's hope the Jays take it home tonight!

Happy Halloween! Out of all the holidays #Halloween is our favourite and we always went all out. When we moved to our new place the neighbourhood kids came over and asked me "who will now decorate" and I felt bad. Being in the country we don't do it anymore. Our Son inherited the mummy thou.

For #throwbackthursday teaching my BIL how to ID elm oyster. He is a bush man and enjoyed the outing. He went home with a bag of winter chanterelles and oysters. Good times, good times. Go Jays Go 🍁
