Introductions
1. Introduce yourself! - 10 points
Hi, I’m Goldia, I’ve been playing FR for way too long and RLSH’s were one of the things I’ve always loved about it!
2. Create your ID - 10 points
You'll see why this is particularly plain later...
3. Clan Representative - 5 points
Calnos here seems to be appropriately interested in the spooky and the shrooms!! (he has a fungal familiar too)
4. Introduce your dragon or clan! - 5 points
My dragons tend to be a bit all or nothing - they've either got lovely, coded bios, or none at all, they are just there cos I like the dragon.
Anatomy of a Mushroom
5. Cap - 10 points
I used to love this newsboy style cap, but haven't worn it in years
6. Scales - 10 points
kitchen scales - absolute essential. And much nicer to me than the bathroom ones...
7. Gills, Frills, or Spines - 10 points
Book spines!! the first 2 cases aren't technically mine. A friend moved to England and asked if I'd mind book sitting some of her books for her. That was at least 8 years ago now...
8. Ring - 10 points
A selection of rings that I haven't worn in a while
9. Veil or Curtain - 10 points
The normal verticals in my bedroom don't block out anywhere near enough light for a late riser like me - so I made some blockout curtains!
10. Stem or Stalk - 10 points
One of my aloe vera plants sending up a big flower stalk!
11. Volva (Base of Bulb) - 10 points
I had to look up what this was exactly. Interesting! Often mushrooms are cut above the volva so you don't always see it, but you can see some bits of them in these one
Shapes
12. Flat - 10 points
OMG a table that is actually empty - and therefore flat - a miracle!!
13. Round or Sphere - 10 points
No idea where this orb came from but it's handy for RLSH's!!
14. Dome - 10 points
So, a dome huh. Hmmm... oh hang on - there's a cafe chain called Dome. Snuck down and took a photo that will work for both this and #33
15. Spire or Tower - 10 points
I used to say I was into fantasy but not so much sci fi. Then I read the Vorkosigan series and realised that doesn't matter, it's about the story and the characters. Anyway, these are some mighty towers!
16. Layers - 10 points
Can't have any puff without layers!! (or butte...mmm butter). I actually walked all the way up the aisle to get this photo in the shop because that was less effort than digging it out from the bottom of my freezer.
Qualities
17. Firm - 10 points
Ok, so bear with me here. Yes, it looks like my firm and soft photos are the same thing... and they are the same sofa set. But this one has been restuffed so it's quite firm...
18. Soft - 10 points
But this one hasn't been, so its much softer and squishier!!
19. Poisonous - 10 points
There's nothing in the cupboard under the sink that I'd want to eat or drink!!
20. Nutty - 10 points
A variety of nutty goodness waiting to be baked
Where to Find Them
21. Ground - 10 points
This is the wrong way around, but this is the ground underneath the frangipani in the next photo
22. Tree trunk - 10 points
So this old frangipani is huge. It has 2 trunks this size, plus another smaller one. And you can see where one fell off in a storm. In fact, there's been two that have falen off (one was great because I was able to get a new, better fence from the insurance!)
23. Leaves - 10 points
A few different leafy plants
24. Store - 10 points
I’m gonna go with Spud Shed for this one. Most of the supermarkets pretty much just have flat or button mushrooms, and maybe portabello, but this local one often has a range of others too. And, one time they even had mushroom growing kits!
25. Kitchen - 10 points
The portion of my kitchen that is fit for public display... sort of. Just don't turn around and look at the island bench!
26. Cutting board - 10 points
Plain boring chopping board
27. Knife - 10 points
Pick a knife any knife. I recommend the 3rd from the left,
28. Bread or breading - 10 points
Bread and breading!
29. Vegetable - 10 points
plain boring chopping board with some yummy veggies on it!
30. Cheese - 10 points
What type of cheese do you want?!
31. Salt - 10 points
Gotta season those wedges!
32. Soup – 10 points
It had to be cream of mushroom, even if I didn't actually make it!! This is from my favourite recipe book: How Grandma Used to Make It
33. Sandwich - 10 points
I have a toasted sandwich for lunch almost every day at work. Do you think I remembered to take a photo? *sigh* But actually, this was a nice lunch for today, so all good. Although, you can see I'm used to doing them toasted cos I automatically buttered the outside!
34. Stove, Oven, or Grill - 10 points
This was a result of too many late nights watching infomercials. Only time I've actually bought anything, but I'm glad I did, it's a great unit.
35. Ink cap - 10 points
Ok, it's a slight stretch, but there's ink and there's caps, so it works, right?!
36. Shelf - 10 points
Shelves! I made this book case. Well, with the help of the guy that used to work on our farm, But still!
37. Turkey tail (or feather) - 10 points
Sorry, I know this counts as cultural appropriation, but I didn't have time to find any other feathers.
38. TOADstool (or frog) - 10 points
I swear the main reason I keep this oil burner is so I have a frog for RLSH's!
39. ToadSTOOL (or chair) - 10 points
I happened to be renovating my kitchen about the time my bestie got married. She bought these bar stools as a thank you for helping keep her sane throughout
40. Button - 10 points
I don't even know what that middle one came from!!
41. WOODear - 10 points
This used to be the post for my old patio. When I had it removed, I had to leave the post there - the idea of my cat doing this to my furniture instead terrified me
42. WoodEAR - 10 points
Tree ear / Wood ear - same thing apparently!
43. Parasol (or umbrella) - 10 points
I actually really hate brollys so had to go to the shops to get a photo
44. Bricktop - 10 points
The top of a brick wall. I took you literally.
45. What's your favorite kind of mushroom? - 10 points
Morels. Mostly because a friend has a board game called that, based on mushroom collecting/cooking, and we always crack a couple of lame jokes about morels or the lack of them
Other things you might find
(and bonus dragon snacks)
46. Bird - 10 points
Quite a good series if you're into that sort of thing
47. Rodent or small mammal - 10 points
Again, I went for easy with this photo. And this little monster has been forced to stay inside for 3 days and has retaliated insisting on spending as much of that time as possible half on my lap so that I also can't do anything.
48. Insect - 10 points
Yes yes, I know it's an arachnid not an insect! But, it's her fault I'm even doing this - on the night I the event opened I went to the toilet and was just sitting there doing my thing when this little guy (actually, might be a girl) came scampering in from the hallway and just sat there in front of me. So then I had to get post it pad to write my name on and take the photo!! Hence the very plain tag and lack of ID in this particular photo.
49. Plant - 10 points
My bestie bought this for me last year! It's a dwarf double graft - half peach half nectarine. So really, two plants!
50. A really cool stick - 10 points
I think it's very cool that this neighbour has used old sticks and branches to create the border for some nice vergeside plantings
51. A very good rock - 10 points
I don't know how good it is, but it's defintely a random little guy just hangong out all by itself here!
Bonus Questions
52. Share a picture of yeast or mold – 10 points each
Be grateful I decided to share this instead of that punnet of strawberries....ewww
53. Share or draw a picture of a mushroom! - 10 points
Have a bunch of mushrooms! The game Morels that I mentioned above somewhere
54. What mushroom did you share above? - 10 points
Errr... the main oine is Morel. They are labellled though, you can read them! This bit would have been easier if I'd just stuck to the box cover, wouldn't it?!
55. Have you ever gone (or would you go) foraging for mushrooms in real life? - 10 points
Yes! I grew up on a farm and when I was little we used to go mushroom picking in the paddocks every year. I liked the picking and didn't mind the peeling. But I wasn't fond of eating them!! Mum would boil them up into a sauce and it was very rich. I still don't really know how much of the intensity was the way she cooked it or if they were just much more flavoursome than the ones you buy in the shops.
