Hello!

Today's post is huge, because I am posting so many photos.

We went to the forest to pick some berries. We took Ninnu with us too. Miro was with his friend so he couldn't come with us.

And I took my camera...

The mushrooms have started popping up. I'll have to train Ninnu to search for some chantarelles soon. We saw a few of them, but they were in the middle of the footpath so we decided it's best to leave them be.

^{Baneberry (Actaea spicata)}

The Eurasian baneberry is a poisonous berry, so it is best not to pick nor eat them.

Cute still-life in nature. See how the tiny mushroom is growing out from a worm hole.

Vadelma
^{Raspberry (Rubus idaeus)}

Sillihapero
^{Crab brittlegill(Russula xerampelina)}

The mushroom in above photo might be an edible one, ~~a Boletaceae,~~ but it was already party eaten, and I didn't have my mushroom manual (the Internet) with me. Also, we were there for berries, not for mushrooms this time. So didn't take a closer look.

Correction: The mushroom above is actually a crab brittlegill, also known as shrimp mushroom (Russula xerampelina).

Same goes for the two mushrooms on the left. They actually look quite good. I wonder if they are.

^{Cool roots...}

Pohjanpunaherukka
^{Nordic currant (Ribes spicatum)}

Konnanmarja
^{Baneberry (Actaea spicata)}

Still poisonous, don't eat the baneberries.

Ninnu got a bit bored while the others were picking berries.

I took a photo of a flower that was seeding...

...and Ninnu photobombed the shot.

I got home a bit earlier because I wanted to get the photos done sooner, but then it took me quite a while. And my computer decided to hang in the process too. Thankfully I eventually got the photos done!
