october in askeskogen

this is my contribution to FungiFriday by ewkaw

though Amanita citrina are both common and inedible they have analluring enigmatic quality about them

that assures us

that magic happens here and if you stay long enough you shall certainly witness it

this boletus for example

or a chanterelle posturing as a flower

though sometimes you must stop and drop to your knees

to really see it

they are everywhere

some shining

while filling the air with the silence

of golden trumpets so lighthearted and fantastical

or while painting the duff

perhaps substantial

and hefty

or with the unexpected.

but let us not overlook the lush verdant mossy

pioneers in the force of life

yes, let us fill our basket. it is october in askeskogen
