We are busy using the internet and field guides to try to identify what we're seeing. You're needlefelted mushrooms are exquisite. My favorite mushroom soup recipes are in the first Moosewood cookbook - Hungarian Mushroom soup and Mushroom Barley soup.

We were hiking with good friends many years ago when my friend revealed that she loved mushrooms. She had even bought a mushroom identification guide.

I fondly remember what we called "mazzatamburo" (something like drumstick), which I just learned is a Macrolepiota Procera and tastes wonderful dipped in egg and breadcrumbs and cooked in butter.Tallulahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12087970768512171174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31186364.post-42747399005986687972011-09-12T10:58:23.680-05:002011-09-12T10:58:23.680-05:00We just returned from a two week road trip with ou...We just returned from a two week road trip with our three year old - 2,000 miles and 5 states, and amazingly, it all was great.

My parents, my brother and me would often go mushroom picking and the greatest achievement would be finding a boletus edulis. My brother and I would often compete who would find more of boletus. I would almost always lose but it was still so much fun. Mushroom dyeing is something completely new to me,a new perspective of mushrooms and your work is simply amazing.Ivanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09777384246167793055noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31186364.post-83208139619000220942011-09-12T04:28:55.110-05:002011-09-12T04:28:55.110-05:00Your felted sculptures are absolutely delightful, ...Your felted sculptures are absolutely delightful, and inspiring!<br /><br />I'm not much of a fungus connoisseur, but I do love the aesthetics of them.<br />I used needle felting to add little mushrooms to the tops of some 3" quilting pins in order to find them more easily in fluffy fake fur fabric. <br />http://www.flickr.com/photos/dragonsquared/6139895986/<br /><br />(and in use!) http://www.flickr.com/photos/dragonsquared/6139901360/<br /><br />That sculpture piece is totally enchanting, and I've enjoyed following your stories of home dyeing.

She tought me that the "ugly" inedible toadstool is actually a red gem in a emerald forest and that I should look underneath to see if there's some dwarf guarding a secret. Years passed and now I'm miles away from her but everytime I see a shroom in the city jungle, foring his spirits to grow somwhere under the tree near the pavement I think of her, and what she tought me when I was a child.

We were in a wooded area of a state park doing some geocaching and I spotted some mushrooms or toadstools growing under these huge pine trees. They are such a nice little surprise to find even if you don't like to eat them. My boyfriend is always looking for these things he calls "puff balls". He wants me to try them. If he finds one and cooks it for me, I guess I'll try it. I would love to win your beautiful felted mushrooms. I love your photos too!<br /><br />Thanks for all you do,<br />Sue (saddison@twcny.rr.com)Sue Ahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05690074337587068769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31186364.post-67192648125283337882011-09-11T21:14:43.018-05:002011-09-11T21:14:43.018-05:00what do i not love about mushrooms?! ;) i love t...what do i not love about mushrooms?! ;) i love to eat them, love to forage them, love to make them, and collect them. i have participated in a couple of mushroom swaps and have a lovely little collection of handmade mushrooms from various friends around the globe. i could think of nothing more lovely than adding your incredible piece....dyed with mushrooms! you are incredible.momma raehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17572904650988884644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31186364.post-23829095156427147052011-09-11T20:42:27.537-05:002011-09-11T20:42:27.537-05:00hello Lisa!

I've really only known button mushrooms, portobellos and shitakes very well, but between your recent posts and a recent trip to Yunnan province in China, which is famous for its many species of edible wild mushrooms, I've been drawn in. I tasted more varieties in 10 days in China than I had in my whole life! And I loved all but about 2 kinds! I should have taken notes as to what they were, oops. I was excited to learn from Pat that I can find lobster mushrooms at our farmer's market here in Ithaca!
