I'm saying goodbye to autumn and getting ready to embrace the winter with this blog entry about mushrooms. These amusing little creatures are a huge part of my life, but I write about them far too rarely. I'm a mushroom expert, me and my boyfriend run a mushroom farm and sell our produce for a living, I do mushroom dyeing and I love to make artwork featuring fungi. In my fairytale-style home, mushroom figurines are to be found everywhere. A pot of dark medicinal mushroom tea is always brewing in my kitchen, to enhance my health. Additionally, one of my favorite things to do is frolicking around in the forest looking for mushrooms and foraging for whatever else I can find.

I'm in distress in periods where nature abounds with edible treasures and I'm too busy to be able to gather any of it, I then feel that something is terribly wrong, not doing what all my ancestors has done before me, something which runs strong in my blood. Being out in the mushroom forest can be absolutely euforic, making you forget all the troubles and sorrows of the world. It is like the most exciting treasure hunt, like finding gems in all kinds of colors and shapes and sizes.
I love always learning something new. And with mushrooms you always would, even if you lived for a 1000 years.
I don't only love to pick mushrooms, I also love to capture them with my camera. Here are some of my most recent pictures, taken in the deep and dark norwegian forest, enjoy:
Always picking mushrooms in comfy, flowy clothes.
Moss troll.
Gypsy mushroom
Bloodred webcap, I pick these for dyeing.
Some kind of Ramaria. Corals of the forest.
On this spot I always find a bunch of wild champignon, they are incredibly delicious compared to the ones in the shops.
Met some old breed norwegian viking sheep, female and male, looking badass.
I love moss, and I know I'm not the only one!
The gold of the forest.
I awakened the moss dragon!
Believe it or not, this is Lactarius rufus.
Can someone please produce coat hangers like these? (These are called Honey mushrooms by the way.)
Hope you enjoyed accompanying me to these mossy woods!
I would love to know, any other mushroom enthusiasts out there? :)

Well, I live in the caribbean and even though I have seen some mushrooms in my area and throughout my life, they have all been either brown or grey or white-ish, nothing like what you picture. My best bet is to keep posted for more crazy mushrooms from your posts and your forests ;). What a luxury to live in that fairytale scenery!

It is quite humid here in the norwegian fjords, we have a lot of rain and everything is quite lush and green, so that might be the reason for all the mushrooms. The mushroom season is quite short though, as our winter is so long.

I am loving this! Definitely a mushroom enthusiast, it's all I blog about! I will be following you for sure. These photos are gorgeous - are these all from the forests of Norway? If so, I envy you quite a bit! Were they all taken on the same foray, or over several? There are a number of mushrooms I can recognize off hand, a couple I have guesses for, and some I don't know at all. How many of these species are you familiar with?
Anyways, upvoted and resteemed and looking forward to more.

So cool with a fellow mushroom enthusiast! Yes, they are all from the forest of Norway. The pictures are from various hikes during the last autumn season, so not all are from the same day. I am familiar with these mushrooms (even though I only named a couple of them), however there are a whole lot of various Cortinarius, some of which are very hard to identify, might have to use a microscope to be sure of some of them. Feel free to give it a try ;) I'm not super skilled with the english mushroom names yet.

Honestly I would rather eat the mushroom on top than the other ones (except for the chanterelles and the gypsy mushroom). Fly Agaric's are poisonous, but not deadly. Many people eat it for dinner, because the toxins go away if you boil it and throw out the water. As far as I know, there are no reported deaths by this mushroom, but it has some deadly cousins, the white and the green ones.
