Back in Malvik again and it’s a blustery day and really dry and still quite warm in the garden with no rain now for 2 weeks and only 20% of the month average in September!

8th September and I woke to the sun’s rays shining into my bedroom (the door to the balcony was open) and another spectacular sun-rise it was. Sun-rise will within a few days be directly over the tip of Malvikodden and that’s a turning point in my world towards autumn!
Some pictures from yesterday evening’s trip to the woods looking for fungi!! After several years with almost no ceps / porcini, I found about 10 in good condition together with chantarelles, hedgehogs, slimy spike caps, saffron milk caps and puffballs and the woods were full of inedibles!
I also found yellow bird’s nest (vaniljerot) for only the 3rd time here! Who would believe it would be classified in the blueberry family (Ericaceae). It lacks chlorophyll, and gets its food through parasitism upon fungi (that form a myccorhiza with trees), rather than photosynthesis…

Here’s a few shots from Alys and “hard working” cameraman Simon on assignment in my garden on that wonderful visit in July 2010 when Malvik was showing off its best …I remember Alys saying that this must be paradise….
