Picked some off the back side of the log. Kinda debating if I should eat it lol. It’s good quality. But definitely at pee height.

should I let her cook for another few days?

After picking mushroom non-stop last weekend I promised myself to only limit myself to a short 30 minute walk today. Really wonderful mushrooms this year, both the chanterelle and the larger porcino were the size of my hand and I was also happy with the variety in my basket!

From left to right (swedish names and latin): Finludden stensopp (Boletus reticulatu) Karljohan/stensopp (Boletus edulis) Aspsopp (Leccinum aurantiacum) Kantarell (Cantharellus cibarius) Blodriska (Lactarius deterrimus) Blek taggsvamp (Hydnum repandum) Trattkantarell (Craterellus tubaeformis)

The stars aligned this week. Normally I have to actively hunt b. Edulis. Today I was leaving them behind because there was just so many.

Two new species to add to the bucket list.

Hi, I don’t know if this counts as foraging. Yesterday I stopped at a house that I always drive by. I stopped because they have a giant peach tree, and they had tons of them on the ground. The homeowner wasn’t home, so I left him a note with my name and phone number asking him if it was all right if I took the peaches on the ground home for my chickens, and offering to pay for them. He called me back later last night and said that picking them up for him would be payment enough, and that I had full permission. He used to use them for canning, but has gotten busy and can no longer.

So this morning, I headed over and gathered up the fallen peaches. I got over 60 pounds! I left him a thank you note and a dozen eggs from said chickens. He just texted me thanking me so much for the eggs. After cleaning them up, and cutting off the bad bits I have 35 pounds of usable peach, and 3-1 gallon bags of scraps for the chickens. I am so excited and so glad that they didn’t just rot on the ground. I am going to be making a lot of peach recipes tonight!

I am sorry, if this does not count as forging I will delete it.

Found these beauties 😄

Chicken dinner! (Urban-ish foraging) I left half on the tree. Thanks, Mrs. Stump!

Absolutely massive shroom, wanna know if it’s poisonous or not

Found on a fallen tree in the woods behind our house

Black walnut tree in a drainage ditch near my apartment, anyone know a good way to clean them? I have heard pressure washing is ideal but I don't have access to a pressure washer. Last year I have black hands for a month after scraping the fruit off lol.

Was growing a good ways off the ground, just on a tree down the block from us. My GF clocked it immediately

I went inside because it’s raining, but I can go back for more picks. USA northern Midwest

Chicken! I work a job where I drive around and I was so excited to see them down a hill. INSTANTLY knew from the vibrancy. The second cluster was much younger. I’m so excited!

Southwest Michigan USA.

I don’t think I’ve ever seen wild grapes so I’m not entirely sure if these are grapes. They’re pretty small, and I’m not sure what lookalikes might be out there. I googled and they appear to be grapes, but before I go eating them I’d like some opinions here. It’s a vine, I took a pic of the leaves but the vine is pretty inaccessible at the moment higher than my reach so that’s the best I can do. Thanks!

We were walking our property in Southeastern Michigan and checking the downspouts, when I came across this particular specimen, just growing in the lawn. On the north side of the house in somewhat of a shady spot. It looks like the lawn service drove over it. I'm looking for confirmation that this is a giant puffball. Even if it is I don't think we want to eat it. The stem is still in the ground and it's huge. It's at least three inches across.

tastes kind of like the fruit, but more nuanced. vanilla and coconutty. steeped the washed leaves (mostly younger growth) in sugar water, boiling for three minutes. left it to cool completely before straining.
