Macro Photography: the mushroom season is finally here :)

in #photography6 years ago (edited)

Hi there my Steemit friends and followers!

Mushroom picking is considered one of the national hobbies here in the Czech Republic and I am a huge fan of this activity too. I love wandering through the forest in any season of the year but the possibility to pick some nice mushrooms (that you can make yourself a fantastic dinner from) makes these forest roams even more exciting and enjoyable.

The mushroom season usually starts in early summer here in Central Europe but because of the heat waves and extreme drought that we have been struggling with for months, it was not until now that you can finally find some mushrooms in the woods.

Here is a little photo selection of what I recently found in the Radun Forest just outside of my hometown. Most of the mushrooms were the Xerocomellus Chrysenteron species (colloquially known as red cracking bolete) plus some other boletus species.

I stewed them with finely sliced onion and today, I am going to make a delicious, super creamy mushroom sauce from it :)

This is also my entry for today´s #macrophotography contest hosted by @juliank.

Wow, thank you so much guys :) This is the first time my post gets curated by you - I feel honored :)

Only an hour ago I was wandering through the local market, admiring all the mushroom varieties for sale!
I agree mushrooms make a delicious meal! Enjoy yours!

Thank you! The sauce was delicious :) Here in my country, we dont buy mushrooms in stores, we go to the forest to pick some by ourselves haha :)

Looks yum @phortun! 😋 Definitely perfect for stews and creamy soups and sauces. Enjoy your meal using these mushrooms! 😀

Thank you :) I love creamy mushroom sauce! :)

Pěkně jsi to vybral ;-). Už jenom vidět hříbek v mechu je krása.

Jo jo, "mecháčky" jsou nej! :) Dneska jsme byli znovu, fakt už rostou i tady ;)

I have never collected mushrooms, I would like to try!

Haha you should try it :) It really is a kind of national hobby here :D

Then the ideal thing to do is to try it in the Czech Republic! I have never been there, I hope that I will visit it within the new year!
