Thanks Ann and others for comments.
Yes, you can eat velvet shank mushrooms. A cultivated (white) variety is
enoki-take well known in Asian food and claimed to have health benefits.
But you have to be careful not picking a similar looking mushroom, the
deadly galerina (funeral bell)!

That's basically what I was thinking.  The lighting is just perfect.  My 
daughter liked it too (she's interested in mushrooms).

We have a tree in our back yard which has a large bracket fungus growing out 
near its base.  We'll be having it removed fairly soon.

Cheers,
Dave

Our European chestnut trees are being killed by an invasive species of
moths (cameraria ohridella). It's a sad view to see those majestic trees
shed their leaves in mid-summer.

Re: PESO: mushrooms on chestnut tree

[Rick Womer]

Toine, those are beautiful shots!

Chestnuts were the dominant tree species here in Pennsylvania (and many other 
areas in the US) until a fungal blight arrived in 1904. Our house, built in 
1886, has chestnut woodwork throughout. It is so resistant to rot that even our 
window frames are in fairly good shape.

Some stands of blight-resistant chestnut have been planted experimentally, but 
of course it will be years before their fate is clear.

The European chestnut (fortunately for all of you across the pond) has been 
rescued by a virus that is a blight on the fungus. There’s some poetic justice 
there…

Re: PESO: mushrooms on chestnut tree

Very nice (set). Many chestnut have some kind of disease which is fatal.

Did I say 4 m diameter? It is 4 m circumference of course.
