Το μανιτάρι βρήκαν δύο φίλοι φυτρωμένο σε δέντρο σε βουνό στην περιοχή της Καλαμπάκας - Έγινε εκλεκτός μεζές στα κάρβουνα αλλά και στο φούρνο.
Το μανιτάρι Hiricium erinaceus είναι ένα σπάνιο είδος μανιταριού και μάλιστα με θεραπευτικές ιδιότητες.
Δύο φίλοι από τα Τρίκαλα, ο Χρήστος Μαυρογιώργος και ο Κώστας Καψιώτης, που τους αρέσουν πολύ τα άγρια μανιτάρια, για δική τους κατανάλωση, ψάχνουν να βρουν μανιτάρια σε βουνά των Τρικάλων και σε άλλες περιοχές, γνωρίζοντας ποια μανιτάρια είναι καλά και προς βρώση.
Πριν λίγες μέρες όμως ψάχνοντας σε δύσκολα σημεία σε βουνό στην ευρύτερη περιοχή της Καλαμπάκας, μεταξύ άλλων μικρότερων συνηθισμένων μανιταριών, βρήκαν αυτό το τεράστιο μανιτάρι που εικονίζεται στις φωτογραφίες, να είναι φυτρωμένο πάνω σε ένα δέντρο!
Το ζύγισαν από περιέργεια να δουν πόσο βαρύ είναι και με έκπληξη είδαν τη ζυγαριά να δείχνει 5,5 κιλά! Βεβαίως γνωρίζοντας πόσο νόστιμο είναι και τις θεραπευτικές ιδιότητές του, μέρος αυτού καταναλώθηκε ψήνοντάς το στη σχάρα και σε φούρνο και το υπόλοιπο στον καταψύκτη.

Lynyrd Skynyrd Singer And Guitarist Killed In Plane Crash
1977Lynyrd Skynyrd members Ronnie Van Zant and Steve Gaines die in a plane crash in Mississippi. Gaines' sister Cassie, a backup singer with the group, is also killed along with two pilots and the band's manager. Other members of the group are badly injured.
At about 4 o'clock in the afternoon, a 1948 Convair CV-240 bearing Lynyrd Skynyrd and crew lifts into the sky over Greenville, South Carolina, bound for Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The atmosphere is a bit tense, as that very same plane's right engine had spewed 20 feet of fire while in flight the night before.
This flight, band and crew have all agreed, will be the last one they take in the craft. They will leave the plane at their next stop in Baton Rouge and find new transportation.
Two-and-a-half hours into the air and the plane's right engine starts to sputter. Keyboardist Billy Powell goes to the cockpit to ask what's wrong. The pilots, both relatively young, tell him that everything is fine and they're simply transferring oil from one wing to another. Powell returns to the seat.
The right engine dies. The pilot radios Houston Air Traffic Control, tells them that their Convair is low on fuel and asks for the vectors for a McComb, Mississippi airstrip to make an emergency landing. Before the final directions to the airstrip get back to the pilots, the plane's left engine goes as well.
Powell and drummer Artimus Pyle run to the cockpit to find the pilots looking terrified but keeping themselves composed enough to tell everyone to get back to their seats and get their seat belts on. Everyone buckles up except for Ronnie Van Zant, who is sleeping on the floor behind the cockpit. Artimus wakes him up, but before Van Zant can make it to his seat, the plane crashes into a wooded Mississippi swamp at approximately 90 miles per hour.
Van Zant is launched from the craft and into a tree, killing him instantly. Guitarist/vocalist/songwriter Steve Gaines, his sister (and Skynyrd backup singer) Cassie, and road manager Dean Kilpatrick also die on impact. Pilot Walter McCreary and co-pilot William Gray are also killed.
Pyle emerges from the wreckage with his ribs protruding from his body to see that the pilot has been decapitated. He makes it nearly a full mile to a farmhouse.
Powell lies in the swamp thinking that the crash has been a sort of culmination of the violence and recklessness that the band has been living for years. He silently thanks God that the violence is over.
Guitarist Gary Rossington wakes up to the sound of helicopters and the sight of search lights. He starts screaming. The helicopters can't land because of the swamp's terrain.
Local farmers come to the scene and begin helping get the injured out of the wreakage while emergency crews work on bulldozing a road through the trees.
Less benevolent folks arrive, as well, to scavenge memorabilia from the wreckage and even from the dead.
The incident puts an abrupt stop to Lynyrd Skynyrd's climb to stardom. Just three days earlier, they released their fifth album, Street Survivors, and were filling arenas on their tour. After the crash, band members are too traumatized to go on. Added to that is the bitterness and anger they feel that their mission to become as big as The Rolling Stones has been so brutally crushed. They dive into self-medication with alcohol and drugs for many years.
An eight-month National Transport Safety Bureau investigation of the crash determines that the probable cause of the accident was, "Fuel exhaustion and a total loss of power on both engines due to crew inattention of fuel supply. Contributing to the fuel exhaustion were inadequate flight planning and an engine malfunction of undetermined nature in the right engine which resulted in a higher than normal fuel consumption." Despite some eye-witness reports, no evidence of drugs or alcohol are found during autopsies performed on the pilots.
At Van Zant's funeral, Merle Haggard's "I Take a Lot of Pride in What I Am" is played. Van Zant is buried with his favorite fishing pole and Texas Hatters hat. A recording of David Allen Coe's "Another Pretty Country Song" is played and Charlie Daniels sings "Amazing Grace."
It is ten years before the surviving band members reunite, and it isn't until 1991 that they complete that trip to Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

3000 ΕΙΔΗ ΒΟΤΑΝΩΝ ΥΠΑΡΧΟΥΝ ΣΤΟ ΠΗΛΙΟ
Το Πήλιο είναι ένας ευλογημένος τόπος. Αγαπήθηκε από θεούς και ανθρώπους. Ο πλούτος του βουνού σε θεραπευτικά βότανα, από τα αρχαία χρόνια μέχρι και σήμερα συνδυάζεται με τον μύθο του Κενταύρου Χείρωνα, γιο του Κρόνου, που διδάσκει στον Ασκληπιό την ιατρική τέχνη. Κοντά του μαθήτευσαν ο Ηρακλής, ο Αχιλλέας και ο Ιάσονας. Μάλιστα και ο Θεόφραστος, ο «πατέρας της βοτανικής» θεωρούσε το Πήλιο πλούσιο σε θεραπευτικά βότανα. «Των δε περί την Ελλάδα τόπων φαρμακωδέστατον το τε Πήλιον». Ανέφερε στα συγγράμματα του.
Στο Πήλιο έχουν καταγραφεί με το πέρασμα των αιώνων 3.000 είδη βοτάνων. Σε αυτόν τον τόπο, ο Γιάννης Σπανοδήμος, Πηλιορείτης από το Τρίκερι, έζησε και μεγάλωσε. Ο Γιάννης έχει μακρόχρονη εμπειρία στις ευεργετικές ιδιότητες των βοτάνων της περιοχής αλλά και στην παραγωγή φυσικών καλλυντικών από αγνές πρώτες ύλες Πηλίου. Ενώ από την άλλη πλευρά ο Μάριος Παναγιώτου, οικονομολόγος στο επάγγελμα, ζει και εργάζεται στην Αθήνα. Τι σχέση όμως έχει ένας οικονομολόγος και ένας βοτανολόγος; Ο Γιάννης και ο Μάριος αποτελούν την ομάδα της P For Pelion. Μια φαινομενικά αταίριαστη ίσως, αλλά γόνιμη συνεργασία. Δημιουργήσανε προϊόντα ατομικής περιποίησης, φτιαγμένα εξ ολοκλήρου από τον φυσικό πλούτο του Πηλίου.
Στο Πήλιο έχουν καταγραφεί με το πέρασμα των αιώνων 3.000 είδη βοτάνων
Η ιδέα γεννήθηκε μέσα στις κατάφυτες πλαγιές, τις αιώνιες πηγές και την μοναδική βλάστηση του βουνού. Συλλέξανε τις πρώτες ύλες, βότανα, φυτά, έξτρα παρθένο ελαιόλαδο και άλλα 100% φυσικά συστατικά του Πηλίου για την παραγωγή premium προϊόντων ατομικής περιποίησης που παράγονται αποκλειστικά με φυσικές μεθόδους χωρίς την παραμικρή προσθήκη χημικών.
Ο Μάριος, έδωσε σε αυτή τη σύμπραξη έναν αέρα πολυτέλειας. Ασχολήθηκε με την ιδιαίτερη συσκευασία των προϊόντων αλλά και την προώθηση της P For Pelion.«Είχα παρατηρήσει ότι τα φυσικά προϊόντα ομορφιάς, «πάσχουν» από άποψη συσκευασίας και μοιάζουν «πρόχειρα» και ερασιτεχνικά. Λες και μια όμορφη συσκευασία πάει πακέτο μόνο με τα χημικά και τα parabens». Μας λέει ο Μάριος στο humanstories.gr.
Η ονομασία P For Pelion, προέκυψε ως ανταπόδοση προς το Πήλιο. Για όλα αυτά που η ίδια η φύση προσφέρει τόσο απλόχερα. «Για εμάς το Πήλιο είναι ο πιο ευλογημένος τόπος σε παγκόσμιο επίπεδο. Συνδυάζει βουνό, θάλασσα, νερά, βότανα, πρώτες ύλες εξαιρετικής ποιότητας και απαράμιλλη φυσική ομορφιά. Με άλλα λόγια, είναι ένας τόπος ιδανικός για να εμπνευστούμε την δημιουργία προϊόντων αγνών αλλά και ποιοτικών. Μάλιστα, θέλοντας να ανταποδώσουμε σε αυτό τον τόπο τα όσα μας χαρίζει απλόχερα, διαθέτουμε το 10% των εσόδων μας σε δράσεις ανάπλασης του Πηλίου».
Η εταιρεία P For Pelion, έχει τη βάση της στην Αργαλαστή, και την εποπτεία του Θεσσαλικού Πανεπιστημίου. «Για να δημιουργήσουμε προϊόντα φυσικά αλλά και απολύτως ασφαλή και δερματολογικά ελεγμένα, θεωρήσαμε ότι χρειαζόμαστε την τεχνογνωσία του Πανεπιστημίου Θεσσαλίας. Το προϊόν-ναυαρχίδα της εταιρείας μας είναι η 24ωρη κρέμα εντατικής ενυδάτωσης G.o.a.t. με βιολογικό γάλα κατσίκας. Αναπτύχθηκε σε συνεργασία με το Πανεπιστήμιο Θεσσαλίας. Σύντομα η σειρά G.o.a.t με γάλα κατσίκας θα εμπλουτιστεί με ένα body milk και ένα γαλάκτωμα ντεμακιγιάζ για πρόσωπο, λαιμό και μάτια. Επιπλέον, το άλλο προϊόν που έχουμε κυκλοφορήσει στην αγορά είναι ένα βαλσαμέλαιο (σπαθόλαδο) με βιολογικό ελαιόλαδο Πηλίου, το οποίο κερδίζει σταθερά έδαφος, αφού το ευρύ κοινό δεν γνωρίζει ακόμη τις ευεργετικές ιδιότητές του».
Ναι, σωστά ακούσατε με γάλα κατσίκας. Ο Γιάννης και ο Μάριος αντικατέστησαν το νερό, με γάλα κατσίκας γιατί είναι ένα προϊόν που βρίσκεται σε αφθονία στο Πήλιο και στους πρόποδές του. Αφού υπάρχουν παντού ελεύθερες κατσίκες και επιπλέον είναι ευεργετικό για την επιδερμίδα με σπάνιες ενυδατικές ιδιότητες. «Τα θρεπτικά στοιχεία του είναι τα πλέον φιλικά προς τον ανθρώπινο οργανισμό και τα πλέον υποαλλεργικά (πράγμα με ιδιαίτερη σημασία για τα ευαίσθητα άτομα). Έχει μεγάλη περιεκτικότητα σε γλυκερινικούς αιθέρες (ιδιότητα πολύ σημαντική για την πρώτη ηλικία) και καλές ρυθμιστικές ιδιότητες, που το καθιστά αποτελεσματικό για έλκη και τραύματα. Ένα άλλο πλεονέκτημα του κατσικίσιου γάλακτος είναι η σταθερή σύσταση κατά τη διάρκεια της γαλακτικής περιόδου, γεγονός που επιτρέπει σταθερό χειρισμό και χρήση των προϊόντων που προέρχονται από αυτό. Τα προϊόντα με φρέσκο κατσικίσιο γάλα διαθέτουν αλκαλικότητα που προσομοιάζει με τα επίπεδα αλκαλικότητας της ανθρώπινης επιδερμίδας. Έτσι, το δέρμα και τα μαλλιά διατηρούν τη φυσική τους ενυδάτωση, σε αντίθεση με αυτό που συμβαίνει με τα κοινά σαμπουάν και σαπούνια. Αυτοί οι λόγοι, σε συνδυασμό με το γεγονός ότι σε παγκόσμιο επίπεδο θεωρείται ένα συστατικό ραγδαία ανερχόμενο στην κοσμετολογία, μας ώθησαν στην επιλογή του για τα περισσότερα προϊόντα μας».
Η αντίδραση του κόσμου απέναντι στα νέα προϊόντα; Θετική. «Αν και θεωρούσαμε ότι κάποια νέα προϊόντα από μία νέα εταιρεία, θα αντιμετωπίζονταν με καχυποψία, η ποιότητά τους και η προσεγμένη συσκευασία τους μας άνοιξε «πόρτες». Τόσο ως προς τα καταστήματα με τα οποία συνεργαζόμαστε όσο και ως προς το αγοραστικό κοινό».
Η εταιρεία P For Pelion, τόλμησε να βγει στην αγορά με ένα ιδιαίτερο προϊον, με το χαρακτηριστικό ξύλινο καπάκι από το δάσος του Πηλίου το γνωστό και ως «φαρμακωδέστατον». Αγαπήθηκε ήδη στις γειτονιές του κόσμου και υπόσχονται να συνεχίσουν να φτιάχνουν προϊόντα που θα δίνουμε στα παιδιά μας. «Η χώρα διανύει την 9η χρονιά ύφεσης. Αυτό το γεγονός από μόνο του, όμως, δεν είναι ικανό να πλήξει τα προϊόντα και τις εταιρείες που δουλεύουν με γνώμονα την ποιότητα. Θεωρούμε ότι οι τιμές μας είναι fair και αυτό το αναγνωρίζει και ο πελάτης. Όσο για τους στόχους και τις επιδιώξεις μας, δεν είναι άλλοι από την συνεχή επέκταση της δραστηριότητας μας, με ένταξη νέων, φυσικών και συνάμα πρωτοποριακών προϊόντων. Με ένα κοινό παρονομαστή: την χρήση πρώτων υλών από τον φυσικό πλούτο του Πηλίου».
