Today was the final outdoor Lane County Farmer's Market for 2011. The crowds at the market are much lighter now than even a month ago. It's a shame really because there is still so much amazing produce to take home and I even managed to find some new surprises today too!
How about some fresh Ginger! This beautiful white & pink ginger is so much prettier than the brown nobs that are sold in the grocery store. These bulbs still were attached to their stalks. I had no idea that ginger resembled bamboo so much above the soil line.
And these yellow beauties were quince.
And another exotic fruit - persimmon.
There were a number of stalls offering mushrooms for sale. The selection was amazing.
These cauliflower mushrooms reminded me of sea coral.
And the golden chanterelled just glowed.

I can almost smell the fresh ginger, beautiful colors! Those mushrooms look delicious, i have been wanting to try growing my own mushrooms in those boxes as a winter project, but never got to it. I might try the logs and peg project one day.
Love the quince, so bright looking.
