Now's the time to get nettle seeds! Cut the plant from the bottom, hang it upside down to dry for 3 days, then rub the seeds off and pass everything through a medium-fine screen so that only the seeds end up on the other side. Remember, nettle picks up toxins and heavy metals so only forage it from clean places!
Here's a link to help you ID what you're looking for:

I’ve been out #foraging blackberries again. I’ve picked these since childhood so I know exactly what I’m looking for. I noticed the clusters of berries in the photo and I’m pretty certain they are elderberries? Would appreciate it if someone could confirm for me that there’s nothing I could muddle them up with before I poison myself making cordial with them!

Here in SW Pennsylvania we have had a huge year for Chicken of the Woods. I have had far more than I can use. Does anyone know of a good way to preserve them?
I dehydrate chanterelles but these seem too thick for it to work well. I suppose I could thinly slice them.
Has anyone had any luck?

Wild sour cherry pie
- Simple flour butter crumble topping
- Oat and applesauce crust (not visible)
The sour cherries and crabapples were picked from trees within our general area (crabapples were from last year)
Half foraged, half store bought, homemade pie :)
Taste is... OK. Mildly tart/bitter despite addition of sugars, but the crust is the real winner here.

Walk your block. Check the stone walls, the old headstones, the north side of the trees.
What's growing on the stone where you are?

Do not eat it. Lichens absorb everything from the air; that's their whole nature, and it makes many of them mildly toxic and all of them efficient collectors of whatever drifts past.
The medicine isn't in the mouth. It's in the reading. Lichen is the oldest air-quality monitor ever built.

Look on old stone. A thick pale crust, gray to buff, broken into small tiles with a darker rim, welded flat against granite anywhere the sun is hard and the water is scarce.
Lobothallia alphoplaca. Not a plant. A fungus and an alga that gave up living separately so long ago the arrangement counts as one organism now, growing a fraction of a millimetre a year.

I wasn’t expecting to still find plums but I was happily surprised! These are so ripe and simply divine. I’m making ice cream (plum-rum-cardamom) with those I’m not just gobbling up.

Found a sad looking Slippery Jack that I could eat if I needed to survive...
But since it was a late starter, I let it be...
...not a big fan of Slippery Jacks anyway.
Best marinated and its too much hassle.
