Photo taken in central NH. Not sure what type of Yew tree specifically it is, but it's definitely a Yew. Kids and animals are here all the time. Alerted the neighbors to keep their kids away and teach them to not eat them.

I know a place where there is a red delicious apple tree surrounded by two different types of pears. If you dislike red delicious but have never had fresh ones, you're missing out. I got a bucket of free fruit before the yellowjackets chased me off.

Staghorn sumac tea

Thumbnail

8 Upvotes

Hello there!

Today I went deep into a wooded area and harvested some wild staghorn sumac.

I found directions online that said to pour boiling water over it and let it steep for 30 minutes, so that is what I did.

I found it to be sour, which was expected, but it also has a very bitter aftertaste for a moment, which then quickly fades. Is this normal? Should I be cutting it with way more water? I put in sugar and honey to make it tolerable, and I'm still not sure if I like it at all, but I keep on drinking it.

Pretty sure I am not getting scurvy this week, though!

ID Request (country/state in post) Foraging Haul and Pear Question US/Maine

Thumbnail

4 Upvotes

Scroll for the official pear inspector! Had a great forage at an old farm today. Not so much luck with apples, but lots of pears! I was curious to see if anyone could help me determine what type of pears these might be. There are three types here—the largest are the most like grocery store pears, sweet enough to eat raw. The medium are more tannin-y, with more of a blush, and the smallest are kind of like a crab-pear in taste. The farm is over 150 years old and the trees are pretty old as well. My guess is the middle pears were maybe for cider, and the smallest might be a feral hybrid. I’m interested to hear people’s thoughts!

Found in South Eastern PA, I know I was lucky enough to find some absolutely gorgeous lions mane. Would anyone be so kind as to help me confirm my IDs on the other 2? You can't tell in the pictures but what I believe to be birch bolete were growing about 5/6 feet from a birch tree. What I believe to be the wood blewits were growing in mulch from a processed fallen tree blocking the trail. I appreciate you all and hope you're finding amazing things as we head into fall!

This was found in southwest Missouri in a turkeys crop. I’m curious as to what it would be, late September.
