If you fancy a distraction from the weather this month then join in with Becky’s (“A life of a 40 something”) March challenge of square photographs with the theme:
- ‘Squared Squares’ – think multiple squares and squares within squares
- ‘Squaring the Circle’ – the perfect post will be a circle within a square
March Square | 19th March
Are they edible? They look like hippy button mushrooms.
Totally edible. On a stall at the Farmers Market in San Fran. I think they could be Lion’s Mane mushrooms.
I don’t think I have ever seen such ‘shaggy’ mushrooms. Very interesting.
Best wishes, Pete. x
Shaggy indeed Pete. There were loads of different mushrooms on the stall, these were by far the more interesting ones.
They look more cuddly than edible, Jude. 🙂 🙂
Hericium erinaceus or Lion’s Mane I think. And yes very cuddly 🙂
Goodness, whatever are they? Monster Mushrooms!!
Not very big, just somewhat textured. Could be Lion’s Mane mushrooms. Hericium erinaceus
Oh, OK!
What everyone else says!!!!
Never seen anything like these! I thought they were catkins when I first glanced at them.
Haha… not catkins, though I have got a photo of some coming up soon on the flower blog!
I’ve never seen fungi quite like this. They look like they need to be petted.
Oh, Carol, you do make me laugh 😀
I’ve not seen fuzzy furry mushrooms before. I see someone else has already asked if they were edible; my immediate thought.
PS Did you try a b/w version?
As they were being sold on a mushroom stall I assume they were all edible. Maybe something the Chinese use? This was in San Fran. And no, haven’t tried B&W. Will give it a go.
Almost like little animals. Did you taste them?
No. We were staying in a hotel so no cooking on that trip.
Best way to travel, indulge yourself…
Indeed. Self catering is fine, but means I don’t get away from housework and cooking. However, hotels are expensive and we don’t do conferences any more where the accommodation was paid for.
I must admit self catering means more money to spend longer and see more when travelling. Now-a-days I do like a bit of pampering though, must be getting old!!!
I’ve it seen mushrooms like that before – I’m not sure that is fancy the thought of eating furry food!
Well these were on a stall in San Fran, so maybe more of an American or Chinese taste?
Oh, could be. I must have a look out for them.
