Birch bolete

 

There is nothing better than good (mushroom) company, pleasant weather and fresh Võrumaa air. All is provided at the Rõuge mushroom days. A week of pure enjoyment – from Monday to Sunday.

 

Upright coral

 

Getting out of the woods proved difficult today. The rainy days of last week have painted a multi-coloured pattern of mushroom caps on the forest floor. There are mushrooms to suit all tastes. Birch boletes (Leccinum scabrum) for culinarian mushroom enthusiasts, the upright coral (Ramaria stricta) for the aesthtecially-minded, and tens and hundreds more mushrooms, all telling their own fascinating stories.

 

Coral tooth

 

Each year the coral tooth (Hericium coralloides) residing in a well known oak stump has turned out splendidly for the mushroom week. This time its fruiting body started to grow only a few days ago and instead of the long icicle fringes there are just tiny thorns. We will see what it will be like at the end of the week
