As a link it does work, if you don't put a full stop at the end of it:

If anyone was thinking of running a stall with expats providing some home cooked produce for sale, I will contribute.  Can't commit to much time working on the stall though.

Does anyone know the names of the odd looking mushroom being sold at the markets at the moment?? They stand them in trays of soil and appear to be hugely sought after - I just wondered what type they were..... our neighbour did actually cook us some rice with one of these chopped up in it, but it didn't really seem to taste of much.

I guess those would be the fabled morels - like a cap-shaped bit of tripe on a stalk.
Some kinds of mushrooms are said to have wonderful aromas and flavours, but not everybody can detect them.  I can't...

Does anyone know exactly what is going on this weekend?  Would like to participate but there is no info on poster and website is in Turkish (I know I shoud know what it means!).   Thought there were supposed to be mushroom searching walks... would like to join in but dont know where and when?

[LoubyLou]

Thanks Alec - look slike I cant detect the flavour/aroma either!!

If you go onto Fethiye Times website you can download the whole programme in English and there are mushroom searching walks each day as well as live music at night.  It all starts at 12.00 noon today

www.kuzugobegifest.com - without a full stop at the end.  Click on the link that says 'English', and its all there.  There's been quite a response for the mushrooming outings, both from Turks and foreigners.  And it looks like the weather might be improving.

Very busy weekend in Uzumlu market place!   Everyone looks to be enjoying themselves!
