For a change I cycled to the shops at Sveberg rather than cycling to town…this also gave me the opportunity to check out the fungi in the woods…
The route involves a notorious climb up Vuluvegen. I haven’t cycled this for some years and having hardly cycled since I retired at the end of April, I wondered how it would be, but I’m pleased to note that it was pretty easy :) …and it took me about 35 minutes, so shorter than going to town but more strenuous!
Almost at the top of Vuluvegen….familiar Thomas Thomassen? Robin Arne Barstow? Avellana Wood
At the top!
View from the top of Vuuvegen over Malvik and my house :)
Into the woods…
Just a few minutes into the woods and there were a lot of young chantarelles (kantarell) on the way up…a good sign as it’s not often I find them this quickly…there were also a few hedgehog fungi (piggsopp)
…and a few chantarelles big enough to pick too
Cortinarius spp. (slørsopper)
Cortinarius spp. (slørsopper)
Russula spp.
Apricot Jelly / Traktgelesopp – Guepinia helvelloides – is apparently edible; see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guepinia
Brunsskrubb (birch bolete)? Leccinum scabrum
Rødskrubb (orange birch bolete)?

Russula spp. (mild tasting, hence edible)
Alpine bistort / harerug
Back down Vuluvegen, lots of Angelica sylvestris (wood Angelica / sløke) on the verge
…and some with reddish inflorescenses
Flower buds and stems are the tastiest, but I didn’t pick as it’s next to the road
A small but tasty catch and the season has started!
…for an omelette for dinner with spring onions, Scorzonera flower shoots and buds and Malva moschata leaves and garlic…
