foraging

Il know that bramble are eatable and I can recognised them perfectly but I couldn’t bring myself to eat it. It feels to weird. I should’nt have forrage it....

My wife and I walk our dogs on a trail along the Rio Grande every morning, and years ago I found this patch of Mountain Gooseberries. The birds usually get to the ripe ones before I do. I never pick too many to ensure the birds do have enough. As the patch has grown, and continues to grow, I eat more.

I almost missed fiddlehead season but was able to get out Sunday and collect a few that were still curled up tight....

I’ve been thinking about collecting dandelion sap (y’know, the white stuff inside the stem) for a while, but I can’t find anything about how to collect it because duckduckgo only shows unrelated results.

Found some in the woods yesterday and looked them up. Apparently the fruit is very tasty, resembling Starburst. Have you tried it?...

I tried a tiny taste and it was pretty neutral, not “grassy” at all. Might work well in a salad....

Got some spruce tips, but they basically have no flavor. Am I picking at the wrong time? Or maybe it’s just a bland tree?

They smell amazing...

At least I’m pretty sure that’s what it is. It has a nice garlic taste. I chopped it and put in some oil, salt and pepper for a nice little spread.

Pretty psyched for garlic mustard and dandelion season here soon....

Hello there foragers and gatherers!...

Picked along the North Coast of California. Winter chanterelles, black trumpets, hedgehog mushrooms, and a few golden chanterelles which are not visible I don’t think....

Sorry this isn’t actually foraging per se, but the only kind of people who’d grow these are probably foragers anyway. I’ve been growing them for a couple years, but this is the first year I had enough to bother trying to eat them! From two plants we got about 1/2 a cup....

Sadly, there are only a few small areas of ancient forest left in my area, but they are so diverse and abundant. They’re always a treat to explore....

Agaricus arvensis or campestris. I can never tell horse and field mushrooms apart, but no yellow staining and a pleasant mushroom and mild anise smell. I found several rings. Unfortunately, the maggots beat me to most of them. Also found a fair few meadow puffballs (Lycoperdon pratense) that had unfortunately just started to...

My town have a plantation of Juglans nigra. These nut trees don’t grow usually in France yet when I decided to have a taste of them, I thought I would handle it like another nut. But they are different....

Anyone else finding wild grapes?

Does anyone else primarily find muscadine by smell? I can easily notice it from 20 yards away.
