Some young velvet shanks today on property. I didn't have the proper container to grab the slippery gems so I will get them tomorrow. #fungifriends

Go big or stay home. In town today and lots of folks are already decorating. This massive skeleton won the show. I talked to the young couple and told them how awesome it was to see people in the spirit 😎

Disappointing weekend for mushrooms. We have had no rain for weeks so hopefully rain will arrive soon. My cucs have done so well this season. I gave them a brown sugar and baking soda mixture mixed with water twice throughout the season and I guess that's why? Read it on a garden site. #gardening

The weather is starting to get cooler and my cherry tomatoes are having a hard time ripening. Placed in a box with a banana and closed box. Took about 7 days but so far so good. There are at least 60 in the box. #gardening

Look at my beautiful #organic leeks! Made leek, sausage hearty stew. Used one of my habanero peppers to slowly cook for added flavour in the crock. The stew turned out delish. I think I like hot peppers 🌶️ when I use them different ways. Made pico de Gallo on the weekend with them. Yum #gardening

Where my property meets the neighbours farm field the puffballs LOVE this spot. Last season I found 3 smaller ones and today just one gigantic dinosaur egg. 2nd pic. is from a distance to show the massive size. Left it for the slugs and wildlife. #fungifriends #photography #ontario

I decided to have a "me" day and bought this beautiful orchid. Haven't bought much in the past year except a new heating blanket that was on sale. I pay cash for groceries/items for the past four months now, not 100% "why" but it just feels right for some reason?

Today's morning walk. A small amount of bears tooth, homegrown wine caps for dinner tonight. Large puffball and smaller ones. I'm not a big fan of puffys so I usually leave them. Happy Labour Day to my Canadian friends and Labor Day to my American ones. ❤️ #fungifriends

Not much on today's walk, two shaggy manes and an old chicken of the woods. Going out tomorrow to a different forest as it is a holiday for Steve. Happy Labour Day. #fungifriends

Not much on today's walk as it's been so hot and humid. It is going to cool down this weekend to 22°c and with all the rain it should be good, but who knows? I was finding puffys this time last season which is odd and early for them. Mushrooms do what they do - no rhyme or reason. #ontario #fungi

I bought this habanero pepper plant late in the season for I think .50 as I felt bad for it. I'm not a huge lover of screaming demons but our son is. It is doing well after I gave it a hair cut. Not sure what to do with it - beans are doing well again. #ontario #gardening

I have an abundance of zucchini (jokes are true) Yesterday, hubby and I made fritters. The garden has been pretty good with failures of course. Next season I'm already planning on what worked in my zone and how to improve. #gardens #ontario #lakeontario 👍

I love finding mushrooms posing so perfect in odd spots. Beech rooter claims this large stump as its castle. The king of the fairy forest. ❤️🍄❤️ #fungifriends

Thinking back to the year 2000 and how terrified everyone was...lol Bank systems shutting down, computers crashing basically a computer induced apocalypse. That time was a walk in the park compared to the world today.

The season is starting for matsutake - pine mushroom. One of my top five, tonight's supper is fettuccine, garlic, matsutake alfredo. Hard to find at this young stage. Found this patch ten years ago and it never lets me down. #fungifriends

Such a devastating scene 😞 literally thousands of emerald ash borer larvae crawling in front of a huge ash tree. Zoom in as they're all in the large puddle too. We are cutting a lot of dead smaller ash this weekend. #ontario

Short walk on the property today. Found delish bears tooth unfortunately past prime...boo hoo, large log full of young turkey tail and a dyers polypore. The season is starting in #ontario ❤️🍄 #fungifriends

My neighbours are visiting Kooteney BC and I'm watching their house for a month. I can pick strawberries from her garden - nice batch today. A healthy escapee petunia seed germinated on their laneway, so cute. #gardening #organic

Happy with my veggie garden - pic taken today. Lots of zucchini, beefsteak, cucumbers, and hot peppers - 2nd planting of beans coming up. The last two days have been raining heavy and non stop so hoping for a great 🍄 season that's fast approaching. #gardening #ontario

Another batch of purple and yellow beans coming up.

A little bit of this and that from today's garden. Wine caps, kale, beet greens, cucumbers, cherry and one beefsteak tomato. Good eating for tonight's meal. #gardening

The Dutch parliament had diplomatic tensions and local backlash from the goof. Hoekstra remained in his position until completing his full term in January 2021. He later went on to serve as U.S. Ambassador to Canada - now he's our nightmare! Fellow Canadians please sign the e-petition. #Canada

Out for a walk this morning and only found one tiny amanita and a few common others. Got attached by deer flies and mosquitos, awful. Came home and checked my wine cap bed - bingo - good haul, I was surprised. #fungifriends

I love globe thistles, they start off looking not very impressive for weeks with just a spikey globe. Then little blue flowers engross it and it looks so alienish.

Plant dill they told me and "bingo" my first black swallowtail. It was so quick and super hard to get a good picture. Absolutely lovely butterfly 😍🦋 My first time ever seeing one! #nature #ontario

Did I ever score today! A huge bag of purple/sweet onions + apples for $2 a bag - still decent quality for best before. 🇨🇦 Radishes, broccoli, cauliflower, and clementines from South Africa. Total cost $13.75 😊 Made a batch of fridge pickled onions. The apples I will make applesauce. #ontario

Today's harvest, at least i don't need to worry about a parasite and explosive diarrhea. Orange haze and smokey smell today from wildfires in Northern Ontario. What's this world coming too! No response from the premier as he's too busy robbing us blind!

Hot and humid again and will last till Thursday. The deer flies are now out and mosquitos are still awful! I'm not enjoying this Summer and looking forward to Winter...never thought I would ever say that...EVER! Pictures from today while running from bugs!! Can't go outside without spray and mesh.

Tomatoes, peppers, 🌶️ and beans doing ok.

Today's post is lettuce appreciation day. The different varieties of lettuce all did well. I can't keep up with eating it. The romaine is bolting. Planting the hydroponic lettuce grows so perfect and no bitterness from a second harvest. Lots of rain lately though. Good for plants bad for mosquitos.

Some visitors today ❤️🦋 Nature is so beautiful. The monarchs caterpillars left the milk weed 2 weeks ago, hoping to spot an adult soon. They love both swamp and regular milk weed. Also have some black admirals but they never land long enough to snap a picture.

Disappointing to find my wine caps shredded like this overnight. Hopefully once it cools down the bugs will chill out. Another hot day so I made lasagne early this morning to beat the heat. Pricey to make - cottage cheese was $8!? Oh well, it's such a comfort food and some days you just need it.

FungiJoJofromCanada @fungijojo.bsky.social · 06/07/2026

Homegrown radishes and oysters from this morning. Mosquitos are still the worst we have ever witnessed. Got some dunks to help control them and it's not working! Sneak in the house and I got bit in my car today!! It's unreal and others are also noticing the vast amounts. #ontario

Happy Sunday and happy gardens. My snap peas are growing so tall they outgrew the 4 foot trellis, so I improvised with a ladder. Some other beauties from today. Scorching hot weather since Monday and it ended today, good lord it was awful!

Happy Canada Day to my fellow Canucks! Calling for extreme heat today in my area. Whether you spend today lounging on your chesterfield, eating poutine, staying cool in your igloo having a freezie, or watching hockey drinking a cold one. Enjoy the day, stay hydrated, and don't be a hoser, eh...
