Svampe - 3 - Mushrooms

     I fredags var Uglemor to gange ude og cykle en tur. Første gang bare på indkøb. Det tog meget lang tid, og Skribenten havde allerede kaffen klar, da Uglemor kom hjem.
     På trods af løfter om friskbrygget kaffe, og saddeltasker der brød sammen var Uglemor alligevel indenom birkerørhatte-stedet; og søreme stod der tre flotte eksemplarer, lige til at plukke. Kaffen var stadig varm, da Uglemor nåede hjem.

Friday MotherOwl went for a ride on her bike twice. First to go shopping in the morning. The town was crowded, and the shopping took much longer than expected. The coffee was already brewing, as MotherOwl left town after an accident with the saddle bag that broke. But MotherOwl just had to look for Birch boletes in her usual place, and sure enough. 3 nice mushrooms were put in the broken bag.

     Efter kaffen tog Uglemor ind til byen igen denne gang med bussen, for at hente Piraten. Vi prøvede at købe nye saddeltasker, men cykelbutikkerne var lukket eller flyttet et andet sted hen, å det kunne vi ikke.
     På vej hjem fra stoppestedet plukkede vi champignoner, en ikke spiselig art, under et gammelt egetræ.

After the coffee MotherOwl went by bus to pick up the Pirate. We went looking for new saddle bags, but the bicycle shops had either closed down or moved, so no luck. On our way home from the bus stop we stopped by an old oak tree and picked mushrooms - champignons, but an inedible variety.

     Ikke-spiselige champignoner kan også bruges. Vi tog lige så forsigtigt stokkene af.

Inedibe mushrooms have a use as well. Carefully we removed the stipes.

     Så lagde vi dem på et stykke hvidt papir og ventede. Resten af svampene på dette ark kommer fra Uglemors anden - pinlige - cykeltur den dag. Uglemor for vild - i sin skov!

We placed them on white paper and waited. The rest of the mushrooms in this picture comes from MotherOwl's second ride through her woods. The lesser said the better. MotherOwl got lost - in her woods!

     Næste morgen havde svampene efterladt deres sporer på papiret. Det vil sige nogen af dem var enten for gamle eller gad bare ikke.
 
Next morning the mushrooms had left their spores on the paper, all but some who were too old or too shy to deliver.
