picking mushrooms

After a very nice breakfast I started to write on a project work about cushion plants. I did almost finish but I want to write a bit more and correct some parts before I hand it in.




After lunch we went out for picking mushrooms! Very nice to be out in the forest where you don't have to think about anything. Very relaxing! We found some mushrooms aswell! 

Hiking boots and a small backpack with coffee and sandwiches! 


We found a nice rock, perfect for climbing! 


One more rock, perfect for climbing.. 


 Don't worrie! we didn't pick this one.. (Cortinarius rubellus) 
(spetstoppig giftspindelskivling in swedish) 


Except for the toxic C. rubellus we found Cantharellus tubaeformis (trattkantarell in swedish)  


Cantharellus tubaeformis  


we saw a lot of small frogs 


This is some kind of slime molds (don't know if that is the proper english name for it?), in latin Myxomycota and swedish slemsvampar, on a blueberry plant (Vaccinium myrtillus)


Calluna vulgaris 


Is this Leucobryum glaucum? 


 Me sitting in heather (Calluna vulgaris)
