Had a serious windstorm here yesterday. It didn't hit my block too hard*, and only knocked some dead wood out of my trees. I'd hoped to find some good fungus on the debris, but only a tiny, not very photogenic, wood ear and a little bit of lichen but not enough for a pretty picture. But I persist in looking for picture-worthy fungi in everywhere.
*Next block down, a very short walk away, had ~60 year old oak trees destroyed by a microburst. Yikes!

And again finns got a bit sidetracked in the wording process and hence we have "hunaja" for honey and "sima" for mead.

That is also true that "hullut suomalaiset" are crazy

Sorry OT, my Fungi-picture is nearly ready...

To be fair, "half-toilet" isn't really an accurate description of a big bottle either. Nice mead, though! Speaking of mead, it's interesting how one half of the Indo-European speakers started using 'med' exclusively for honey, and the other half exclusively for the drink made of it.
Thank you. Best wishes.

I understand "hunaja" and honey as loanword but "sima" vs. what?
'*saima-' itself apparently comes from '*saigma-', which in turn would stem from PIE '*soikʷ-mó-', at which point you notice that Slavic 'sok' (juice) has the same origins.
That being said, if you look at etymologies long enough, you can prove anything.
