The fog on the forest, mixed with the colours is frankly, wonderful.
In this period of the year, one of the most popular activities that people do is : Collecting mushrooms.
People usually go to the forest with the aim of enjoying a day in the forest, walking and collecting mushrooms. People go in groups of friends, families .....
While they are enjoying of the landscape, the paths.... they look for behing their foots to find : a mushroom.
Baskets, little knives are the instruments used to find and collect the mushrooms.
But, one thing that everybody should know before collecting mushrooms and cooking them is that not every mushrooms are good to taste them. Sometimes, nice mushrooms, hide serious dangers for our health. There are healthy and dangerous mushrooms. If we taste a danger mushroom we can die.
Each time there are more people interested in this kind of activity and the mushroom's culture is growing up. In the area where I live, there are workdays, where people are taught in the culture of mushrooms. Ther can learn who to differentiate betwen a good and bad mushroom, etc... after the working days, they usually go to the forest to collect all kind of mushroms. After that, all mushrooms are clasificated with their name, and the most important thing: They show which ones are bad or dangerous for our health. These kind of activities repeated in a lot of villages is very important to enjoy and taste of one of the most important things of Autum.
Nice!, Where are the pictures from?

ReplyDeleteOne of the things that I love ABOUT Autumn is the colour of our forests. Orange, Green. The leaves [] come tumbling down(2), making a path of green, yellow and orange colours.
Walking ALONG this kind of patH is one of the best experiences of the Autumn. Feeling the peace, feeling the silence ... It is magic. Your footstep is the only sound that you can hear. The silence, the river, the water ..... The peace around you , it's one the best things of this moment.

You have caught my interest with this vivid description of mushroom collecting. I have many mushrooms in the woods around my house, but we do not touch them.
(1) The "n" is silent, except in the adjective form "autumnal", where it is clearly pronounced.
(2) I like "come tumbling down".
(3) or: not every mushroom is
Thx Matt.
ReplyDeleteWhen I refered : Workdays, and you corrected me like :Workshops, i only want to say that days where people go to listen to an expert in that subjet. In spanish is called: Jornadas. And there are a lot of Jornadas of a different subjects. Wine, Mushrooms, Olive Oil, History ( archeology) , music .... all of them very interested.
* Referred. sorry
DeleteYes, based on that explanation, I think "workshop" is the best translation. One could say "I attended a workshop on collecting mushrooms."
