It is easy to identify it, its size and intensity of the color attracts attention. The first time addresses this phenomenon of nature is still dazed, there is a fear that arises from within, you feel it would be better not to approach it and certainly not touch. This fear of the unknown and the toxicity of certain fungi is common among many people.
Yet here, nothing to fear. This lump is harmless, it is even edible. It is sold at the Jean-Talon!
Is it not a source of inspiration for the painter?
