Due to Covid-19 it is not easy to plan nice holiday trips, because we want to avoid all indoor activities now. Fortunately, we live not far from the Arboretum Trompenburg and in autumn the gardens are stunning (But do make reservations in advance). Our Puk would like to search for mushrooms and then you are in the right place at Trompenburg!
Just inside, Puk immediately sets the pace. He knows where to look, and yes it doesn't take long before we see the first toadstools! Fortunately, we also see some familiar species, such as the red-brown Beef Steak Mushroom and on photo 4 the Turkey Tail. The Beef Steak Mushroom is another favorite of Puk, right after the Fly Agaric!
Puk is delighted, there are so many different types of mushrooms to be found here! He knows that the mushrooms are growing mainly on and under trees. He inspects every tree (and there are many here) and a lies on the ground to look under the trees. Too bad we forgot to bring our mushroom recognition card. No idea what all these mushrooms are called ...
?
You will also find beautiful flowers here in autumn, not so many as in summer but still. We do not know the name of the purple plants, but they colour so brightly and pretty between the fallen leaves. The ducks also swim happily among the autumn leaves, they do not seem to mind. Then we see already bright red berries growing on the holly and beautiful Dahlias in many colours, these colour we found the most beautiful!
You are going to have lots of fun with the treasures you find during your walk. We use them to make crafts as you can see tomorrow and in the coming months, on snazzie!
