From Charly, who notes: Another edible mushroom, I personally do not like it very much, but my nephew who was collecting with me does. It makes passable fried breaded cutlets, but in my opinion the blusher is much tastier. Click for full size!

From Charly, who notes: Getting into a dangerous territory here, this one is poisonous and dangerous. Allegedly also called false blusher in English. Indeed it could be sometimes theoretically mistaken for a blusher, if one were to forget that blushers blush when cut. There is more similar edible mushroom around here (grey spotted Amanita – Amanita excelsa var. spissa) which I did not see this time around. However I do not collect the grey spotted Amanita not for the fear of confounding it with this one, but because I think its taste is rather inferior and it is never trouble to find enough better quality mushrooms when they grow at all – like blushers.

From Charly, who notes: My favourite edible mushroom, unfortunately often spoiled and worm ridden. A folk name for it is “masák” which could be translated as “fleshy/meaty mushroom” due both its color and taste. Click for full size!

A very old shed and trailer on the edge of the field across from us were recently destroyed, repeatedly pounded into the earth. All those remnants of people, memories, laughter, tears, work, gone. It brought melancholy on, considering it, but this is the oblivion we are all assigned to, eventually. There’s a bunch, so most under the fold. The odd leather thing is a sheath, for scissors, I think. I rescued it, made me too sad to leave it. Click for full size.
