Another nice story before I head outside to make my own.

The first photo is of the author checking out some speedwell and I think the first flower I took a photo off last week was a tiny Germander Speedwell flowering earlier than it's country cousins by a garden wall in Wolverhampton.

There is a lot to be said for a slow walk in the urban jungle :)

Next Tuesday, our collective will be hosting local forager and ethnobotanist Rebecca Beyer for the launch of her newest book, "The Complete Folk Herbal." Rebecca, who has been a longtime friend and collaborator of Firestorm, will offer a presentation on how plants can be used for medicine and the unique histories of these herbs!

"The Complete Folk Herbal" is a comprehensive guide to Western folk herbalism designed to help you work with the natural medicinal and healing powers of wild plants. With easy-to-implement practices that are grounded in sustainability, Rebecca demonstrates how to work with plants to soothe everyday pains, including headaches, burns, backaches, menstrual pain, itching, insomnia, fatigue, and dozens of other minor ailments and maladies.

No registration is required for this free event, which can be joined in-person or online via our YouTube channel. Copies of the book can be purchased at https://firestorm.coop/products/23219-the-complete-folk-herbal.html.

Pacific Madrone (Arbutus menziesii) produces berries that persist into winter, providing an important food source for birds and mammals.

Turkey Mullein (Croton setiger) is toxic to some animals, but its seeds are eaten by birds. Several of its common names reflect the affinity of doves and wild turkeys for its seeds.

Coastal Woodfern (Dryopteris arguta) produces sori—clusters of spore sacs called sporangia—that split open to catapult tiny spores into the wind for dispersal.

Turkey Mullein (Croton setiger) has toxic foliage, and it was traditionally used by California Native Peoples as a fish poison to stun and catch fish.

Pacific Madrone (Arbutus menziesii) sheds its bark in colorful layers—green to buff, orange, and deep red—with tannins and continual peeling working together to deter insects and other harmful organisms.

#IndianGhostPipe - #MonotropaUniflora

Herbaceous, #perennial flowering plant.

It can't generate its own chlorophyll & is #parasitic - specifically #mycoheterotroph. Its #symbiotic #fungi hosts are in the #Russulaceae family.

Through the fungal web of #mycorrhizae, #GhostPipe roots sap food from where the host fungi are connected to the #photosynthetic #trees. Clustered node roots of this plant are covered in hairs called #cystidium. The #cystidia found on these roots allow easy attachment to #FungiHyphae. As it's not dependent on sunlight to grow, it can grow in very dark environments, like understories of forests.

#Indigenous #Cherokee peoples feature the "pipe plant" in some of their #CreationStories. The legend states that the plant was named "Indian pipe" due to a group of chiefs quarreling without resolution, while passing a pipe around during the dispute; the Great Spirit then turned the chiefs into the plant, as they should have smoked the sacred pipe after making peace with each other. The plant is said to grow wherever friends have quarreled.

Native to #PacificNorthwest & a few other areas too.
