Greencracked brittlegill. A variety of wild mushroom which, as its name implies, is a sort of olive green with darker green markings and with creamy brittle gills. Most brittlegills resemble other ones that are inedible and some will cause gastric problems. You can normally detect what type it is by the flavour. A tiny tasting will immediately reveal whether or not it is edible, but it is worth spitting it out immediately if you detect a bitter taste.
A variety of wine grape. Verduzzo, like Refosco, is native to Friuli. It is ancient vine that was once widely grown, though its use has now declined. There are two varieties of Verduzzo: Verduzzo, and Verduzzo giallo or Verduzzo di Ramandolo. Verduzzo verde is cultivated in the plains and gives a dry wine, while Verduzzo giallo grows in the hills and produces a semi-sweet, dessert wine. Both types are yellowish to green.
