Title: Drying Llao Llao
This is a kind of fungus fruit that goes on Coihue trees in Argentina. The Mapuche word means "sweet, sweet." The Mapuche use them as a sweetener. I collected some and painted these in our cabaña in Villa Traful. After a while five or six worms started crawling out of them. I thought it was kind of funny because the others had eaten them to see what they taste like. Glad I didn't!
