'shroomin' in th' Forest, 1, Mestia, September 2010

 Our hosts' son Giorgi knows all the best local mushroom places, amongst many other things, which impresses my wife.  Usually steep mountainsides which get little sun but enough rain.  After a good sprinkle or downpour, off the 3 of us trudge with our bags, to find the silently-emerged treasures.  Alone, I would die of poisoning, but the family also knows how to test, as well as which kinds to avoid altogether.  NB I make no claims about what is edible or not in these and all other mushroom photos - pick at your own risk!
