The pine forest aparently looks least attractive at this colorul autumn period in Poland when the heads of the deciduous trees turn yellow, orange and red. However nothing gets lost in nature and other plants benefit in this modest entourage. Hopefully also mushrooms! Heathers grow abundantly in clearances in the woods. Their pink carpets look especially impressive when they expand on the vast forest meadows. Blue Juniper berries are a spice used in a wide variety of dishes. Especially in meat dishes. They grow everywhere in Polish forests and in their shapes remind me of the cacti on the dessert. I collected them to comfort myself just in case we do not find any mushrooms today. Cladonia fimbriata. The stalks of this fructicose lichen take the unique shape of cups. Lichens are pioneer species, among the first living things to grow on bare rock or areas denuded of life by a disaster. Lichens are often used for the sake of monitoring air quality as they can accumulate several environmental pollutants such as lead, copper, and radionuclides. Finally, mushrooms. Quite a discovery on this battlefield! Lazy bones we are! It took us long to finally set off on our hunt, so probably most mushrooms have already been picked. However, we ended up with six quite descent mushrooms that day. Just enough to make tweaked scrambled eggs next morning. Never enough of admiring the beauties of the forest. Though poisonous these downy hats reminded me of the famous Swan Lake and its ballerinas dressed in pure white.
