Grant yourself a moment of peace and you will understand how foolishly you have scurried around.

I’m sure I can manage more than just a moment…..

A little more amethyst deceiver love, this time expressed with paint and paper. 💜 #fungi #mushroomart #mushroomillustration #fungiofinstagram #amethystdeceiver #naturejournal #natureart #naturalhistoryillustration #botanicalart #purple #autumn #britishwoodlandIt's been a great year for amethyst deceivers, Laccaria amethystina. One of my favourite fungi it's very common over the autumn months but never ceases to amaze with its vibrant hue. Unfortunately it doesn't keep its colour when dried. Otherwise I would keep jars of it purely as decoration - definitely something you'd find in a witches potion cupboard! I usually find it in broadleaf woods but it does grow in coniferous forests too. It is edible but not strongly flavoured. #amethystdeceiver #fungi #mushrooms #mushroom #mushroomsofinstagram #autumnWorking on the illustrations for my profile of turkey tail. Such wonderful medicine from such a beautiful mushroom! #fungi #turkeytail #trametesversicolor #mushroomart #mushroomsofinstagram #fungiofinstagram #naturalhistoryillustration #natureart #botanicalart #botanicalillustrationOne of my favourite rituals at this time of year is to make medicinal mushroom stock. Most of the mushrooms I use are available year round but it's become an autumn ritual for us, when the birch polypores are at their best. This year's includes ganoderma australe, turkey tail, birch polypores, jelly ears and a little Chaga. I chop them finely, cook them all up over night in the slow cooker, strain and then freeze the liquid in ice cube trays. Then I use one whenever I fancy in hot drinks, soups and stews over the winter months. I have so much gratitude for these mushrooms and love getting to know them better, learning and feeling into the ways in which they differ. All these except Chaga are available abundantly in my part of the world. #autumn #fungi #medicinalmushrooms #healing #plantallies #mushrooms
