Here is another "weird" favorite! Believe it or not, this strange little mushroom can help you sober up! 😄
Corpinopsis atramentaria, also known as the common ink cap (🇫🇮 harmaamustesieni), is edible when young. (You can swipe right to see the same mushrooms one day earlier.) But it's poisonous, if you drink alcohol with it! And this so-called "Antabus effect" lasts for quite some time - you should stay sober for at least five days after eating these. 🍄
Once they get old, you can use them to make ink. Not the most vital survival skill, but a fun trick to try with kids. 😊
Tonight is the grand opening of my exhibition at @ruplahelsinki! ❤️ If in town, come say hi!
I'm lucky to have some of my dearest friends add their magic to the evening. One of my all-time favorite DJs, R2-D2 from @valodesign_clothing, will be playing his bewitching tunes. 🎶 And the enchanting @rebekkalily, creative director of vegetarian and vegan catering service SOUP, will offer snacks made out of wild mushrooms we foraged yesterday. 🍄 First come first served, so if you want a taster, arrive early! 😉
Hope to see many of you tonight!
Do you know, why lizards drop their tails? It's because those tails don't actually belong to them. 😉
Once upon a time the Snake asked the Lizard to babysit her children, because she had been invited to a wedding. When she returned, she saw that the Lizard had taken a very good care of her kids, and promised a reward. The Lizard asked for a piece of her tail, and the Snake agreed. Unfortunately the tail wasn't a perfect fit, so whenever the Lizard gets scared, he accidentally drops it. 🐍
My goddaughter was coming for a visit, so I was feeling playful. 😄 Happy new week, everyone!
"Snail, snail, show your tentacles, will the weather be fair tomorrow?" 🐌
In the past people here in Finland predicted weather with many different animals. If a crow sang in the evening, the next morning would be pretty, they said. Grasshoppers were a sign of sunshine, too, but swallows flying low predicted rain.
It's been raining so much in the past few days that a little break would be welcome. This snail here just showed me his tentacles, so I'm hopeful. 😊 Do you have similar traditions?
