Mushroom Time
Got the first mushroom crop of the year today.
My dad and I went for a nice long walk with our wicker baskets, some coffee, a book on mushroom identification and my camera.
It was nice. I have now dried them all in the oven and already some were used for the Spaghetti Bolognese we had for tea.
Here's a shot of some Amethyst Deceiver before they slipped into my basket:)
Unsure how it deceives, but it's sure attractive. Loads were just popping out of the ground and I might have to go back to pick them in a weeks time.
Holy mackerel
So, what is up with these mackerel. I have never caught any mackerel before this year and I had never actually seen a shoal/school of them. But this year was to be different. For some reason I have had the fortune to catch mackerel on two occasions, most recently this past Friday night, where I went to the coast with my brother in law and we immediately spotted them hunting tobis and other small fish really near the coast. I got 3 but my brother in law didn't manage to get any.
Didn't manage to get a photo this time, but here's one from last time:
Looking forward to having fresh smoked mackerel with the family again.
