Writing on Fungi

Oh WLass found this facsinating, I`ve never seen this done before - can`t wait to try it out. The writing is amazingly clear.

Yes, Stroller...I was surprised how clear the photos came out because it's easier to read the writing in the photo than it is with the actual fungi right in my hands!

I noticed too in the 2nd photo that our 3 yr. old daughter must have tried to draw the picture on the right...maybe trying to copy mommy because I always draw happy faces, as you can see on the left of the fungi.

thats great jacquie, so unusual, not seen this either, you would think like mushrooms the fungi would shrivel away, great idea :o))

Interesting. Never thought of doing anything like that. Lovely for the children to do.

Glad you like the idea. I have another one somewhere in the house (or possibly the garage) that my dad and I did when I was about 5 yrs. old but I can't find it at the moment.

I agree Cinders...it is great for children. When we went to B.C. 4 yrs. ago the grandchildren did draw on some of the fungi but I think their dad said not to take them home to the UK because of possibly bringing something nasty in the bug realm into the country. They collected shells on the beach instead...lol

Incredible that they've remained that way for so long. Such a clever thing to do. : o )

Awesome idea! I had never heard of this either, but they make great keepsakes & certainly are a conversation piece.

I am surprised Grammazoo that you haven't done this...I was convinced it was a Canadian "thing"....maybe only on the west coast?

I like that - memories are great and how unique and interesting

It has been done in Wales over the years with stones / pebbles. I have one my mother did when she was little. I used to do it aswell , but haven't kept any of them lol.
Never seen it done with fungi thoigh. It's something nice to keep.

What a novel way to store memories W/lass, and I was surprised to see how they can last, would have tought they would be too delicate. Great idea and a lovel Blog!

Fantastic, W.lass, what a super idea, something different to do when in the woods!!

brill idea lovely blog very interesting.

What lovely memories,and so different.I am amazed too,that they don't shrivel up..thanks for showing us.I bet this idea is going to be a favourite among GoYers children and Grandchildren from now on.I have added it to my favourites ,for future reference...:o))

What a novel idea, Jacquie. They are certainly a reminder of the part of the world where you lived before. I would never have thought of anything like that.

Thanks for all the kind comments....I do treasure the memories that the fungi resurrect. I hope one day I can find a fungi in the woods here in the UK and put it to the test to see if it will work here.

Happy to import a "craft" from British Columbia :)
