A clump with the swollen roots that can fill a small sack. An important carbohydrate source in many cultures. This one will ended up as a major ingredient of my favorite dish - "Bengkang", my wife's specialty cooking. Please don't ask me about the recipe. ...:)

caramelized palm sugar, buckthorn berry sorbet, crispy crepe roll, Peking duck almond brittle. Liu plays with the idea of the Peking duck roll and reinvents it as a dessert. Here coconut caramel tapioca is topped with a crepe roll (also known as egg roll cookie) which represents the roll, a few shards of Peking duck almond brittle that had all the aromatics from the lacquered skin of the crowd pleasing course, fresh goji berries and a scoop of buckthorn berry sorbet. Fun fact: both the duck and buckthorn berry used in this course were from the same farm.
Tapioca Slime Mold (Brefeldia maxima)
Swan Lake Nature Sanctuary, Saanich, BC
This very large aspen tree appears to be producing tapioca pudding, that detestable dessert often served to unfortunate children in school cafeterias. But that's not pudding, it's a naturally occurring organism called a slime mold. A slime mold can be characterized by what is is not: it's not a plant, it's not an animal, it's not a fungus, it's not (despite the name) a mold, it's not a lichen, it's not a moss - slime molds are in their own peculiar category, not related to anything else. The Tapioca Slime Mold is "plasmodial": the whole thing is a single cell with multiple nuclei. Yes, that entire mass, covering about 40% of the bottom of the tree trunk, is just one cell! Before it becomes plasmodial, the mold exists as tiny single cells, each with one nucleus, that under the right conditions will combine in the plasmodial form. Says the always-helpful Wikipedia:
"Many slime molds, mainly the "cellular" slime molds, do not spend most of their time in this state. When food is abundant, these slime molds exist as single-celled organisms. When food is in short supply, many of these single-celled organisms will congregate and start moving as a single body. In this state they are sensitive to airborne chemicals and can detect food sources. They can readily change the shape and function of parts, and may form stalks that produce fruiting bodies, releasing countless spores, light enough to be carried on the wind or hitch a ride on passing animals. ... They feed on microorganisms that live in any type of dead plant material. They contribute to the decomposition of dead vegetation, and feed on bacteria, yeasts, and fungi. For this reason, slime molds are usually found in soil, lawns, and on the forest floor, commonly on deciduous logs."
Though slime molds don't have brains or even nervous systems, they can exhibit remarkably thought-like, purposeful behavior like "solving" mazes and mapping networks.
Basically, slime molds are one of the weirdest living organisms on this planet.
This image shows several parts on the slime mold.
Left: This is one large section of the slime mold; there was another section almost as large on the other side of the trunk. This section is about 380 cm (15 inches) tall.
Middle Top: Gooey strands from near the center of the left image.
Middle Bottom: Intricate, foamy structure, very soft and thick. This is the stuff that most looks like tapioca pudding.
Right Top: The strands form connections between the parts of the mold, transporting nutrients.
Right Bottom: As the mold ages, it darkens and hardens, this one to a black crust. This black stuff produces the spores.

Resultado prático do workshop de tapioca de polvilho em São João Del Rey.
Para fazer uma você precisará de: polvilho (doce ou azedo, tanto faz), agua, frigideira, peneira.
Separe a quantidade desejada de polvilho (umas 2 xícaras) e acrescente agua aos poucos, só até mudar a consistência inicial e passe por uma peneira.
coloque a farinha peneirada na frigideira até os lados começarem a levantar e vire a tapioca do outro lado. Faça isso duas vezes para ficar crocante. Recheie com o que quiser, eu usei tomate,couve-flor, brócolis e azeitona.

An Abandoned Farm, called Tapioca, because of the package Tapioca found in the house and as urbex explorers know, names kind of stick, especially unique ones. Last explore of the day, about an hour and a half of light and rainy conditions didn't help the exposure times.
