Searching for mushrooms on the mountains. Γυρεύοντας μανιτάρια στην Πίνδο.

The rains keep falling almost daily on the mountains of northern Greece. And while I was there, a friend told me to go and look for some. Well, it was not bad walking in the woods, but we could not find many edible.

Οι σχεδόν καθημερινές βροχές στα δάση της Πίνδου, έχουν σαν αποτέλεσμα να βγαίνουν μανιτάρια εκτός εποχής. Όσο ήμουν εκεί, ένας φίλος μου είπε να πάμε να μαζεψωμε μερικά. Δεν βρήκαμε τίποτα άξιο λόγου, αλλά η βόλτα μέσα στο δάσος δεν ήταν άσχημη.

We are having tons of different mushrooms and fungi coming up and none of them are edible either. They do make wonderful imaginative images though~

In the spring we find a morel mushroom for a few weeks, but the other 5-6 edible ones aren't that flavorful.The walk is fun to get out and find things you haven't seen.Nice pictures.

They might not be edible but they're very attractive and varied.

Mushrooms are very decorative and deserves to be showed ;-)

So many beautiful types of mushrooms you found! And I really love those gnarly trees!!!

It's too dry for mushrooms here, but in the spring and fall ... they're everywhere!
