Post cards from the island

We've been visiting lots of homes here on Stewart Island and meeting with delightful people.
I take snapshots while I'm in their gardens and around the house and no one seems to mind - very accomodating, these islanders!
Here are some mushrooms in Sandy's garden, a kiwi at the school, the Red-Cross Knight on an old first-aid tin at Kirsten's along with a gorgeous throw she made herself.

Bit of mushroom related trivia!

"Brown rice flour can be combined with vermiculite for use as a substrate for the cultivation of mushrooms. Hard cakes of colonised substrate can then be fruited in a humid container. This method is often (though not always) employed by growers of psilocybin mushrooms, as it is a very simple and low-cost method of growing mushrooms."
