From Charly, who notes: A very common edible mushroom that can be dried for later use and last for years that way. Which is exactly what we did, because we found plenty. Latin: Boletus badius. Love the 4th and 5th photos. Click for full size!

“Gluten-free water.” Yep. And a whole lot of people will pay much more than they should for it, too. You can read all about it here.
Rune Guneriussen uses these everyday objects to construct stories, assembled and photographed on-site without any digital intervention in various rural locations all over his native Norway. Embedded into dreamlike landscapes, these surreal, humorous photographs of his installations seem almost computer-generated. As an artist he believes that art itself should be questioning and deceptive as opposed to patronising and restricting. Guneriussen does not explain the stories he is trying to tell, he just leaves them completely open ended. The hidden agenda of his art is not to give clarification, but rather “indicate a path to understanding a story.”
You can see much more of the wonderful and evocative work of Rune Guneriussen at iGNANT and the artist’s website.
Pat Razket – Pirate’s Lullaby. Lyrics below the fold.
From Charly, who notes: Another one of my favourites, but unfortunately it is not very common around here. Not only is it very tasty, but it can relatively often be found in big size without maggots having infested it. This time we found only this one specimen, but we were not going into the right habitat, so I did not expect to find even that. Latin: Leccinum versipelle. Click for full size!
