foraging

Hey folks, it’s that time of year where there’s loads of ripe wild persimmons waiting to be foarged. Question is, what can you do with them aside from eat them raw?

Ideas for what to do with them?

Anyone else hunting for these?

I just want to make sure, befor I start making juice. 3 lobed jagged leaves. Curly grabber vine at the end of the vines. Reeeeally long vines. Bark peels and splits on the larger stems at the base. Fruit has multiple small seeds....

Hej hej, just getting into foraging and loved my first, yet unsuccessful, cloudberry hunt. Bought some books to get more educated and what to look for that can be brought back into the kitchen. But was therefore wondering if anyone here had any YouTube recommendations of people who forage and turn their findings into food in the...

I posted a bit ago about some serviceberries I found here in Utah, but I ended up finding a whole lot more of them! We ended up picking enough to make a big ol’ cobbler! It was delicious!...

First time my wife and I have ever foraged, we found this chicken of the woods growing from a tree on our street would you believe it, cooked and ate some last night and it was amazing!

It took us 3 hours to clean and pre-cook them afterwards. I even dehydrated a bunch of them and blended into a mushroom powder, which is like a powdered umami explosion. The rest went into the freezer.

Found growing in a park near a bunch of dung bells. Can’t find it in my book for the life of me....

It’s cloudberry season in Northern Europe! I never would have thought I’d enjoy romping through the mosquito-infested swamps, but the bounty is so worth it.

Howdy, I’m looking for a “haversack” style bag. Something usable and abusable. I’d like it to not look like a purse. Maybe military surplus? Canvas?

Hi!!...

They are in clusters of about 12-20 buds and ~a foot in circumference, found in a state park in Nebraska....

So these are growing in the yard of my new home beside some beatroot and Potentilla indica. Can anyone confirm that they are edible currants and if so, when is the right time to pick them. They are currently red. Should I wait for them to turn black/purple?...

I do most of my foraging in the woods along trails. I’m curious for those that forage in similar locations, how far from the trail before you’ll collect something to eat? I know some people get sketched out by the idea that things immediately along the trail my have been contaminated (usually by someone walking their dog)....

Is it worth foraging? I came across some yesterday but passed on it. Is it tasty?
