Enoki Mushrooms

Enoki Mushroom

Take
means mushroom in Japanese and there are many varieties to eat here. I find the shape and color of the Enoki mushrooms to be the most interesting. It takes 60 days to cultivate Enokitake in small containers. I took this photo under artificial lighting and edited it in IrfanView.

The shadows are quite wonderful, though I can't say I like mushrooms at all.

We in the USA are used to the normal button mushrooms, with most of the the stems removed. I like these, long stems and all. The slight shadows seem to be a function of the long stems and slight stems - that change the shadows slightly. Americans ought to be more adventurous about trying different foods...

Sweet mushroom shot! I like taking photos of mushies because there are so many interesting varities around. I enjoy looking at them more than eating them :)

Mushrooms and fungi make such interesting subjects but your enoki are delightful. Wish I could still eat them :-(

bird watching and staying home for the summer

Blue-eyed Siamese Cat flies to Japan

Today was filled with my art and time with Sputnik. She was bathing herself which gave me the chance to catch a photo of her. I actually adopted Sputnik as a kitten in 1998 when I was living in Mexico. She made the long trip with me to Japan on July 25, 2004. It took me about 6 months to plan the logistics of bringing her from Mexico to Japan. Since I had to fly via the U.S. on Mexicana Airlines and Korean Airlines, that meant 4 countries and two airlines would need to approve her transport.

Korean Air allowed her to fly with me as my carry-on luggage, which was a relief for me. No worrying about whether she was scared or left at the Los Angeles airport! I didn't give her any tranquilizer to sedate her. Yet, she was quiet the entire flight and went unnoticed by other passengers. I h
