Fungus Among Us and Bathroom Huts


After the recent rains, the forest is alive with fungi.  Life on the forest floor is particularly fascinating these days... 
 We just found our biggest mushroom yet-- it stands open up to our knees!

 Big enough to be a plate...
 ...or a house for a little Turkish gnome?
 Another fungus, maybe just about to open?
 Looking around, we spot fungi everywhere.  The minis... pink and perfectly stacked on a stick.
 The extraterrestrials...
 The fallic and stinky...
 The popcorn puff balls...
 Pushing through the grasses...
 Hiding around the cabins...

 Even in the pine needles next door...
This one used to be attached to a tree.  This is the underside...
 But we don't just go around looking at fungi all day.  We do actually work sometimes.  Here's us mud-plastering the kitchen extention...
 And the bath hut's back wall, woven around a window space, to be filled with an old car window...
 The cob mix covers the weaving...

 Cute and useful, a bath hut for the yoga shala...
Using bottles in between our adobe bricks, good for letting light in, and recycling our extra glass.
 Structure complete!  Now we need to plaster...
Garden work, planting seed flats and getting some veggies growing for the winter...
 Workshop in lemoncello making...
 Mixing the lime floor plaster for the House on the Hill's back bedroom...
 Air potatoes flying over the garden!
 Bananart.
