Somehow these three images did not post here at the thread.

This is an alley walkway between two buildings. In this walkway is a spirit house with two large paintings on each wall of the walkway.

In front of the spirit house are several bottles of Fanta Strawberry soda, an offereing to a thirsty Buddha. I noticed they also had straws in the bottles. The use of sodea as opposed to water is common at many spirit houses in city neighborhoods. usually it is water which is offered to the Buddha.

Every home and business in Souteast Asia has a spirit house to protect itself.


Here are two images of some Thai fruit photographed on Monday ;

The 2nd is Mancoot (Mangosteen) the sweetest fruit in the world.


The 3rd looks like a hairy strawberry and is kn0own as Rambutan. IT is related to Leichi fruit. I personally do not like this taste, a bit bitter to me.


The 4th image is of a terrarium of Copelandia cyanescens 5 days after mixing the conmpost before I came. This has only three mushrooms and the layer of rye berry seed below the top has not yet spread into the rest of the terrarium compost of buffalo manure and rice paddie straw. This was sitting in the lab the day after I arrived.


This was part of a new thread I started but yesterday the pictures did not show up for some reason and when they did this was they were moved here, although i showed the shrooms.

Oh well.

I will post some new Cambodia shroom and temple pictures tomorrow from the historical site of Angkor Wat and other temples and shrooms. There are some coming up.
