little heifer 7, i rename you aimee
she knows why!
mooo-ooooo
there were
eventually
a herd of heifers
looking at me
crazy woman, laughing in a car!
around the new place
i thought i could easily identify this
but i can't
anyone know?
an inky cap of some sort?
probably 8 or so inches.
i was on my belly
on the side of the road
up close and deep
found here
on the most amazing
autumn sunday
i forgot to show claudia
who stopped in
the dyed sleeve of her linen jacket.
the town of russell's way
to point out
unexpected rocks emerging
from the pavement!
(not me, just the spray paint.)
Cool cow and shroom... don't know it myself, I have a ton of different kinds everywhere right now. That dyed linen jacket sleeve is kinda trippy.
ReplyDeletevalerie, i wish i had more mushroom knowledge...the thing had a shimmery effect on it's "dress" when the wind blew.
ReplyDeletegreat pictures, again. I love seeing your part of the world - and little Aimee. mushroom could be a shaggy mane(coprinus comatus) tall and cylindrical when young. they will liquefy and turn into an inky black fluid from the bottom up as they age (the "ink" has been used to write with)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous day there--rain and gloom here, so it was an extra pleasure to walk with you...oh, cows and foliage, shrooms and shadows...a lovely, lovely walk. I can not identify that one either..but CAUTION is best(http://blog.mycology.cornell.edu/2006/11/22/i-survived-the-destroying-angel/)--I like Cornell sites in general (http://blog.mycology.cornell.edu/) and they usually answer questions.
ReplyDeletehaha!! i LOVE being able to put a face to a moo!!! thanks for sharing. such delight. how much you love the new place is so clear and full of joy.
ReplyDeleteIt's a shaggy mane mushroom. They are delectably delicious, when fresh and not inky. Yum yum. These come up in huge swathes along roadsides in our area at this time of year. And I do believe they were actually used for ink in some areas.
ReplyDeletei agree on the coprinus comatus, shaggy mane. those look perfect for picking right now!
ReplyDeleteI do believe I like the linen 'jacket' even better now! Thanks for tea, visit and doggie licks. Enjoy our last day (for a few) of freedom!
ReplyDeleteClaudia
jean, quess i need to make some ink-
ReplyDeletems. i AM cautious...no way would i eat this!
aimee, i'm so lucky!
lisa, so maybe i could cook it up!
lf, yes, thanks. i wonder why they are so tall!!!
claudia, yes, the linen jackets are in pieces and some have already been dyed.
i have those shrooms everywhere as well... now I know, i love the "magic" cow.
ReplyDeletejude, cows and mushrooms, or, specifically, heifers and mushrooms.
ReplyDeletewe don't have those muchies here, they do look quiet soft and fleshy. I am also very cautious with mushrooms.... but not with cows.

teresa, i'm more cautious with cows than horses...i understand them a bit better. i was wondering about dyeing with them, but looks like i could go back and gather a few for ink.
