Back by popular demand, it’s Mushroom May! Please share all your lovely, adorable, or weird! Mushroom creations here in this craftalong and in their own post. At the end of the month, something fun(gi) may happen
Porchini, crimini, chanterelle
Maitake, Shiitake, portabell. a
Fungi, toadstools, mushies, shrooms!
Whatever you call them, they’re amazing and we wanna see ‘em all!
Inspired by @Tapestry’s magical forest gouache piece, I’ve been watching tutorials and window shopping for gouache. This seems like the perfect excuse to give it a go.
As it happens, we had mushroom macaroni for dinner today and there’s shiitake in the fridge. No craft plans yet but I know I have some fun mushroom embroidery patterns, so who knows??
Thank you for the link! That looks fabulous and I’ve just signed up. I have a bunch of needle felting supplies just lying around already so this is perfect.
It’s the easiest recipe ever, not sure if it deserves it’s own thread. I might have posted it somewhere already. Basically you fry garlic and mushrooms, then you add paprika powder, then cream and capers and let it stew, then you add the macaroni and a little bit of the capers’ liquid. It’s a nice and creamy macaroni even though there’s no cheese (you could add cheese though, and parsley, or black pepper, I bet that’s really nice) . It only takes about 15 minutes so it’s a great “long day at work, I deserve comfort food” recipe that doesn’t contain ultraprocessed ingredients or is deep-fried.
I just learned about an event that might interest people who like mushrooms: Game of Shrooms 2024!
Game of Shrooms is a once a year world-wide art N seek event created by Attaboy. The next Game of Shrooms happens on June 8th, 2024. On that day, artists from all over the world hide their original mushroom-themed art works in public places then they give hints (often on social media) for others to find AND KEEP!
. I’m looking forward to all the fun(gi)!
I need to pop them onto a thread of their own yet, though.
