  1. Saw some mushrooms that look like something edible but, I didn't want to touch them for a few reasons:

    1: I didn't have any way to carry them out.
    2: I didn't have a knife with me
    3: I wouldn't know the right way to harvest? Pick? Whatever them.
    4: is there some kind of mushroom hunting etiquette?

    Anyway, I think it's chicken of the woods but will need to look up how to identify it before actually trying to eat it. I wouldn't mind a little help if anyone has tips but I do plan on spending a little time looking it up today.

  4. Spring is the perfect time to forage wild garlic! Its tender leaves are bursting with flavour—ideal for making garlic butter (freeze it for later) or a punchy pesto. A seasonal treat that brings the wild into your kitchen! #foraging #wildgarlic #springrecipes #gardenchat

  5. From the same walk in the woods. Besides picking loads of lovely bear leek, we also found a few morels, some medicinal herbs and generally had a really lovely time on a beautiful sunny day.

    (On a side note:
    A) In 20-30 years, at 3°C #globalHeating and collapsed #AMOC we definitely will not go anywhere globally except #foraging for #food
    B) If the Orange Monosynapse continues the #war we will not go anywhere globally except foraging for food in the rubble THIS YEAR!)

  7. Recently I gathered about half a kilo of wild garlic (allium ursinum) ina forest nearby.

    I broke down a third of it to a basic pesto with salt, sunflower seeds and olive oil.

    The other two thirds will be fermented.

    For that I roughly washed and then kneaded it in a bowl with 2% salt to bruise the plants.

    Then i put it into a large glass jar and topped it up with some 2% salt water solution.

    I put some plastic wrap on top of the wild garlic to form a somewhat airtight seal and weighed it down with a few small glass bowls.

    Now it sits in my kitchen for about a week. I will then test the acidity to make sure the lacto fermentaition was sucessful.

    When its done, I will use it as a topping for rice and sandwiches.

  8. #Fiddleheads: Where They Grow and How They Taste

    by Catherine Boeckmann, March 18, 2026

    "Fiddleheads are a sign of spring! Also called fiddlehead greens, they are the young shoots of the ostrich fern and an early springtime delicacy. If you’ve never heard of fiddleheads before, discover where fiddleheads grow, what they taste like, a couple of fiddlehead recipes, and magical #fern folklore!

    What Are Fiddleheads?

    In April, young ferns sprout from wet soil, appearing bright green against the decaying leaves. These are fiddleheads, so-called because the very tops—furled tight when young—look like the tuning end of a fiddle. Similar in looks (and taste) to asparagus, fiddleheads are usually only available for a few weeks in the spring before the fern leaves unravel.

    [...]

    Each ostrich fern plant will produce several tops that turn into fronds. They are best harvested as soon as they are a couple inches off the ground while the fiddlehead is still tightly curled.

    Fiddleheads should only be harvested from healthy crowns that can sustain picking. It’s best to take only half the tops from each plant (at most) so that the ferns can continue growing. As with wild ramps, it’s important not to #overharvest and deplete our natural resources!

    [...]

    CAUTION: If you harvest fiddleheads in the wild, ensure you can identify the ostrich fern from other ferns. Not all ferns are edible; in fact, bracken ferns are carcinogenic and should not be consumed. See fiddlehead safety tips [linked below]."

  9. We had our first fresh #mushrooms of the year for lunch yesterday. Couldn't find many of them, just the four because they prefer growing out of melting snow that we didn't have this early spring, but they are substantial and were healthy so we added a few young #asparagus spears and parsley greens from the garden to the meal and, together with a dandelion greens salad picked at the #forest margins, it was well worth the slightly frustrating weekend walk in the #woods.

  10. One of the great things about being back on my bike is I can go foraging.

    I knew of a fig tree hanging over the back fence of a factory but it was too far away to walk and awkward to drive.

    Most of the figs aren't fully ripe so I put olive oil over the fruit end. Any other tips for ripening/softening figs?

  15. Anyone tried lactofermenting nettles? Seems like it should work ...

    the question is whether the ferment deals with the stingy-ness.

  16. Virtual Event - #BookDiscussion of “The #Serviceberry: Abundance and Reciprocity in the Natural World”

    February 12 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm

    "Join us for a virtual book discussion of 'The Serviceberry: Abundance and Reciprocity in the Natural World,' by #RobinWallKimmerer.

    Free. Registration Required."

    About the author:
    "As Indigenous scientist and author of #BraidingSweetgrass Robin Wall Kimmerer harvests serviceberries alongside the birds, she considers the ethic of reciprocity that lies at the heart of the gift economy. How, she asks, can we learn from #IndigenousWisdom and the plant world to #reimagine what we value most? Our economy is rooted in scarcity, competition, and the hoarding of resources, and we have surrendered our values to a system that actively harms what we love. Meanwhile, the serviceberry’s relationship with the natural world is an embodiment of reciprocity, #interconnectedness, and gratitude. The tree distributes its wealth—its abundance of sweet, juicy berries—to meet the needs of its natural community. And this distribution ensures its own survival. As Kimmerer explains, 'Serviceberries show us another model, one based upon reciprocity, where wealth comes from the quality of your relationships, not from the illusion of self-sufficiency.' "
