Velvet Scot and Cauliflower Fungus. Partially parasitic, they target non-living tissue inside a living host. We picked the latter on one occasion in the past but they need to be young and are a faff to clean
St Stephen’s Basilica - impressive. His [nearly 1000 yr old] mummified right hand in a little display cabinet is a nice touch. Apparently when his tomb was opened 45yrs after death his right arm was ‘miraculously’ preserved. So monks cut the hand off for safekeeping, as you do.
Loving the little maneki-neko I bought recently. 🐱 Have to keep him in the shade though, too much sun and the waving gets out of control
