Tepegöz awaked

When our turtle Tepegöz came out of the ground Hakan said “Inasmuch as turtles awake, we can go to pick wild garlic. It is the sign of spring.” 

            

Here is wild garlic that we found in woods. 

When I search in Google noticed that what Hakan called “wild garlic” actually was “wild leek”. It is written on this blog and there are pictures of wild garlic and wild leek. 

Wild strawberry

There are lots of wild strawberry trees in our woods. Wild strawberries are very delicious and good for health. It is full of with vitamins. It is an anti-aging fruit. It kills some viruses. It exterminates acnes. It has positive effects on embolism. But when you ate a lot and a lot like us, it causes diarrhea.

Next to our home we have woods and hills which are seperated by a highway.  These pictures are taken in these areas in November/December 2012. I tried to find the species of mushrooms but it is really hard to say from the pictures on internet. We did not eat any of them.

"mold mushroom" spread out pollen

It looks like "Oyster mushroom" selling in the markets, but I think it is not, we found it in the woods. 

A friend told us if a mushroom's bottom has accordion shape, it is eatable.  

Truffle mushroom (Türüf, Domalan or Yermantarı in Turkish) is very hard to see and find

Truffle mushroom is very exclusive and expensive
