mushroom hunting & random things.

you probably know that i love mushrooms. and especially picking them. and eating them. i can truthfully say that i am a mushroom connaisseur, at least when it comes to the ones you can actually eat. i go for a simple rule: don't eat mushrooms you don't know. and: boletus mushrooms are mostly edible, so if you want to eat wild mushrooms you should check out those. but prepare, there are black sheep in this family as well!

this picture is the only proof of the art circus that i visited in september. i loved it lots, much music, very humorous and without any animals. and the circus crew proved to me again: you can do so much more with minimalistic instrumentations. the artists were really professional and you could see the hard work in their performances. the performances just spoke for themselves, without much glitter.

lichen.

not edible, but very buttery.

little strange mushroom furs.

a stinkhorn ( or penis shroom in my head, sorry ). in this state it's not edible. you can only eat it when it's a baby mushroom called 'witch egg'.

a young fly agaric.

saffron milk cap. it's edible but sometimes slightly sandy.

yellow stagshorns. they're not poisonous but don't taste good. better keep the fingers off of them, they can ruin a good mushroom meal. they look very pretty, though, little alien trees.

a men made forest. i'm always sad when seeing such accurateness in nature.

other remnants that show human beings were around.


little green stars.

forever my forest companions: the parents.


crooked trees are the best.

and to end our little mushroom hunt this little creature crawled up on my jacket. hello caterpillar :)

i wonder what kind of butterfly or moth you turned into.

setting it free again.

have some narcissistic self portraits.

in the forests.

it's that time of the year again.

july '20: lake petersdorf discoveries and a plea against genocide.

the green wild meadows of malchow's sandfeld. in the west of malchow there is a big chunk of forest that spans towards plauer see, a widely 'uncultivated' area these days, but it hasn't always been this way. in my last post i mentioned the nazi munition factory that had been built in these woods, away from prying eyes of their enemies and where they also built an external subcamp for the concentration camp ravensbrück. exactly these woods we explored on a pretty sunny day, betraying the darkness that happened around these parts. isn't it weird that there are places in this world that were built or used by dark forces and horrible regimes and you vist them 80 years later and they are the most peaceful places you can imagine? sometimes my brain can't cope with the contrast of knowing what was in the past and what the present looks and feels like. it definitely leaves me with a strange impression often, kind of like a little sting in my heart and brain that is not ...

july '20: a boat ride across the lakes.

starting point in malchow harbour. when you're in the mecklenburg lakelands you need to do some of the many boat rides they offer up all around the various lakes! that's really sort of the best way to get a little overview over the many lake destinations and being on the water and feeling the wind on your face ( or the rain 😂 ) and seeing the life in the water and the landscapes around you, it's just special, i think! they often also tell you historic bits and pieces of the lakes, informing you on possible sights you should seek out, too! when you book a tour, you can choose between big day trips crossing several lakes, depending from where you start, or you can choose short rides that last a couple of hours and perhaps even have a theme like a sunset tour or a romance tour ( possibly with romantic dinner for two options 😉 ). from malchow you can choose between two tour providers: reederei pickran & the blau-weiße-flotte . there are tours that include up to 7 lakes, ...
