What an unusual shot. I have never seen fungi this color. But then there are a lot of things I have never seen. Keep up the good work. Thanks for sharing.
I have never see fresh fungi before, those that I consumed are processed and bought from the grocery shop. Are they poisonous? But they looked so beautiful. Tom, if you are out there, I am in the process of typing the recipe for wood ear fungi. :)
I like your photograph, Peter, but things that grow on trees I don't eat if they are out of the berry and fruit category. I don't know anything about fungi and toadstools and mushrooms except they sometimes kill people if the people eat the wrong kind.
These are an acquired taste, one that I'm sure Peter will have. We have been coming upon loads of these just of late, and been making inquiries and double checking them with others. All in all we now feel sure that these are edible mushrooms, as such Peter will be trying out a recipe or two of these... before I try them anyway...ha! We also came across some very very tasty Oyster Mushrooms... again we checked and double checked, read up in books, visited a 'Fungi Forum' and then tested them on a friend we know.. ha! he was alright so we had them cooked in garlic and butter...the best I've tasted. Peter made a pig of himself by having two 'BIG' plate full.
If in doubt leave alone, but there's ways of learning if you have the time.
Alicesg... I have been over to see the recipes this morning... I can see that a trip to Manchesters China Town with Peter is forthcoming...... thanks for the recipes. Tom & Pete
Hello. Excellent picture! There are so many very interesting and edible fungi out there however I unfortunately do not like the taste or smell of mushrooms. I always feel like I am missing out though. So did you try them? I hear chicken of the woods (Laetiporous sulphureus)is very good. Bye for now!
Tom and Peter, you both can view more recipes in this link. http://kuali.com/recipes/search_results.asp or you can type in mushroom in the search box. Mushroom are good for health and prevent cancer and heart diseases and of course you need to look at your other diets too.

As I do not have a P.C. this blog and my pictures are done from my friends computer. I thank Tom from 'Wiggers World' for the help he gives with running this and sorting out the posts.
I call around with my camera and over a milky coffee we down load my pictures and see which I want to show. I have no idea of the workings of a P.C. but Tom as.
Because I don't know my way around the computer let alone the world of blogging, I am sorry to say my visits to your blogs will be few and far between. I sit here with Tom and he points out who is commenting, then shows me their blog.
I will with Tom's help respond on my posts and thank you for your time.
I just enjoy the chance to show my pictures and marval at the fact that from Tom's P.C. they wing there way all around the world.
Thank you for reading this and the interest you have shown.
If you want to e-mail me then please do, again with Tom's help I will reply to all.
P.P.

I love this shot! The color is so pretty.

While they make a fine photo, I gotta admit that the mushrooms don't look all that tasty to me. :-)
