Foraging In My Yard - Fruit Nuts and Fungi 🍄🍁🌼

stillwatersart (57)in #foraging • 7 years ago

It has been raining for a couple of days so that always is a cue that it is a good time to check for mushrooms. I wandered to the edge of the forest where my favorite places to look for mushrooms are and was happy to see a few tree ear mushrooms. I plucked those from the rotting logs they were growing on and put them in my basket. Those would go nicely in my stir fry for lunch.

Then I walked a few yards and found some fallen limbs with some fresh reishi mushrooms and turkey tail mushrooms. These are medicinal, but not culinary. I only picked a few because I didn’t have my camera with me and so I will go back tomorrow and photograph and pick them.

Then, walking back to the house I spied some persimmons on the ground that were ripe. I like to put them in a jar with vodka to make some liquor.

Our black walnut trees are loaded this year. They are falling on the ground all over the place, but I like to wait a month or so to pick them up when all of the outer husk has crumbled off. When they are green like this you can also put them in a jar with vodka and make a parasite cleanse.

Food and medicine all around. I’m learning new things every day about how to use them. I am grateful for the bounty.

Thanks for stopping by,

That is awesome. We have mushrooms but I never know what are good and not. I guess I could look on a facebook group or something. Interesting about the parasite cleanse. We do papaya seeds for that here.

I depend on a couple of different Facebook mushroom Identification groups plus google searches.

I'm not so sure that's reishi (Ganoderma lucidum or Ganoderma tsugae).
What makes you think it is?

I wish I could identify more mushrooms. I love eating them, but you really have to know your mushies, because they could be the last you ever eat.

I only eat ones that don't have poisonous look alike and are easily identified.
