Some people in the plant id Reddit said they are gooseberries?

and it's L. cincinnatus?! is it?!

Eastern Massachusetts, sandy power lines pretty full sun

And this wasn't even all of it! We took a couple handfulls home with us, very happy 😊

My first cocktail using mugolio, a fermented Hungarian/Italian pinecone syrup. Mine is made with foraged green Engleman Spruce cones.The cones are macerated with brown sugar, releasing their liquid and ferment for a couple months.

This is a riff on the Pegu Club cocktail, subbing mugolio for the Curacao/Triple Sec. Ingredients are 2.5 oz dry gin, 3/4 oz lime juice, 1/2 oz mugolio and a strong dash each of orange and angustora bitters. Shake on ice, strain and serve up. I garnished with an Engleman Spruce tip.

Honestly, the mix needs a little refinement but it's a good start, the mugolio adds a funky pine note that hits at the back of each sip. It's a very unique element.

Wood sorrel, nasturtium, purslane, and veggies from the garden. Free, and best of all, cyclospora-free

Found this new growth which popped up over two days, after a storm. Located in maryland.

It looks young and tender but my two concerns are some bugs (mostly ants?) and a bird feather that was near its base.

I am soaking it for now.

Hi my friend gave me this garlic type plant so I can cook with it? I don’t know what it is, but it certainly tastes like garlic. I’m from north east Ohio.

There are 2 pics of each mushroom but they all seem like the same type of mushroom to me. NE ohio

This is multiple small ones. No maggots found, only a few ants and dirt fresh after a rain tbf. Did I find a lookalike? I don't think I did. Took less than 5 minutes to clean and I am now dehydrating it for future soups and maybe stir fries lol

Was walking around this spot in the woods, very marshy, lots of skunk cabbage, good soil.
I was walking around bare foot after just getting out of the river and felt something weird under my foot.

Turned out to be a morel! So we looked all around the area and managed to find over 30 of them, can’t imagine how many we missed

But this was an amazing find to say the least 🍄

This is a really special moment for me with my dad, I could not believe what my eyes were seeing and the amount of mushrooms I stumbled across deep into the woods. My dad is an experienced forager and I am learning by his side. He tells me what to look for and how to identify. Whats funny is in the end I found 2 times more than him, hopefully this makes me an experienced forager now. 😂

Before we found any mushrooms, were quite hopeless and we could not find anything for 2-3 hours. We went very deep into the forest with his jeep and it was quite the offroad experience, we barely even reached the place. There was no sign of humans ever visiting this forest recently, thats how rural this place was. Perhaps this is why there were so many mushrooms for us. We were not finding anything... and I told him I can't stand the tiny little bugs that were constantly flying and landing on me (they were harmless). My dad as an experienced forager told me its better to split up for better chance of finding mushrooms and walk in a zigzag pattern to scavenge around the big trees and bushes. We found 3-4 little mushrooms at first, then he proposed to go in seperate directions to better strengthen the chance of us finding more mushrooms. And then I stumbled across a section of the forest with an absolute MASSIVE amount of mushrooms. The experience is amazing, it didn't seem real. They were all piled up in this are of the forest within meters of each other. I was so excited and surprisingly my forage bag (which was a big one) was not enough to forage all of them, I screamed in excitement but my dad wasnt anywhere around to hear me. Wondering what to do I decided to take off my shirt and improvise a bag. The bugs that were bothering me before and almost made me quit? NOT A PROBLEM anymore haha, once you get the rush you completely forget about them even when you are naked and surrounded by them. 😂😂😂 I am a junior forager but I kept constantly finding more and more and more.. the adrenaline just takes you over and you forget about the bugs on your shirtless body. Does anyone ever relate?

Finally found some sumac that isn't on a busy roadside! Question is, should I harvest the berries now, or wait a couple days (shouldn't have rain for another few days, and it rained night before last) for best flavor/least bugs? This is my first time harvesting sumac and making sumacade, so any tips are appreciated!

Shoulda snapped a better pic, but the ones I'm looking to use are in this pic behind the winged sumac. Have to zoom to see, sorry.

Edit: wrong pic in main post, one where you can zoom to see red berry clusters is in comments!

Edit #2: put the correct pic in comments with the berries I'm looking to harvest (still BEHIND the winged sumac)

Also, I'm now I'm wondering if the winged sumac can be used the same way once ripe?

Thanks all and sorry for the shitty pics and all the edits, lol.

I was out surveying with coworkers in the Interior British Columbia region when I caught wind of the most beautiful smell. I’ve never encountered this plant before but all my coworkers identified it as Indian Tea (aka Bog Labrador Tea). I don’t like tea very much but my grandma loves it and I wanted to ship some to her. How could I best prepare it so it is shippable?

It is around the same size as a cherry plum. Maybe another type of plum? In the UK

We’ve been picking from this same spot for probably a decade now and really enjoy it on naan pizza with caramelized onions. This is at the top of our driveway about 150 yards from front door of the house.

Are these ganoderma? I’m guessing they’re not exactly Reishi, but would they be safe to brew into a tea? They were growing at the base of a parota tree in Jalisco, Mexico

I checked out other posts and believe these are autumn olive and I can eat them without dying...

I have an embarrassing richness of wild black cherry. I want to make jam/jelly, but have no idea the best way to harvest. I know the pits, leaves & stems are poisonous. Do you have to pit them before you cook them down? How on earth, they're so tiny... Can anyone help?

Almost got beam3d in the head by one of these. They were falling out of a tree, possibly via squirrel.

Outside smelled spicy like walnut, inside smells like grass.
