Berries part 2 + Forest photos

I'm back in Ireland now, but I still have some pictures left from Finland that I want to post! So here we go: 

The lingonberries weren't ripe when I made my first berry post, but by the end of August they were getting red, so I went and took a few pictures!




It's not a very sweet berry, but lingonberry jam is very good with certain dishes. It keeps well because the berry contains a lot of benzoic acid!

Here's a picture of the ripe seabuckthorn berry. I had a picture of them raw in my earlier berry post :P

Here's our red gooseberry bush! The branches are drooping! And the berries are yummy.


A tall Anthriscus sylvestris (it had too many English names so I just picked the Latin one...)

Spruce forest

Moss


Wood sorrel




Huge mushrooms! I don't know if the scale is very clear in the picture though...



Oh, and I found that missing picture of the cake we made with wild strawberries :P

Mmmm...
