Word(y) Wednesday: Mushroom

Following yesterday's post, today's word is Mushroom.

 

 

Grzyby

pronounced gzhih-bih

Mushrooms

Note:  The "rz" sound in Polish is like a softer z, almost like if you pretend to make a vacuum or lawn mower sound, or the sound of some other loud machinery.

Since the sound is hard to describe without hearing, here is an audio you can listen to of the pronunciation.  Check out the audio for ż (rz) - żaba, rzeka, tworzy. 



Singular form for Mushroom is Grzyb.

It Might Be Mushroom Picking Time

If the mushrooms that bloomed in our worm farm and garden are any indication, I think it might be the right week to go traipsing through the woods around Illinois and the surrounding area for mushrooms.

Not sure what mushroom this is but I doubt it's edible.  Found this mushroom in a pot at the base of a tomato plant in some of the worm castings we had put there the week prior.

And two species of mushrooms in our worm farm, again, I assume they are not edible...

 

I checked on the worms and they seem to be doing just fine with the mushrooms in the farm.  In fact, I just had a worm population explosion, it appears.

So, have you ever gone mushroom picking?
