A wild appetizer I had the other day. If you don't have lemons nearby, but have oysters and ants, why not?

Pink purslane, trailing blackberry, wild strawberry native plants, growing out of a fallen, moss covered logs. Behind the logs, there's lots of vanilla leaf, licorice & lady ferns, thimbleberry, huckleberry, salmonberry, Oregon grape, currants, Kinnikinnick & salal plants.
So much edible native plants in a small portion of a forest 💚

Today was nice. Went out in the forest with a local guy as guide. Learned a lot about mushrooms, picked some too and fried them in a tasting session. So good! And the weather was nice too. No rain (even though it's been raining cats and dogs yesterday and today in the evening too), no sun, not too much wind, around 14°C.

Mushrooms are fascinating, and the sheer variety is astonishing. Tasty too!

Happiness is making jams from foraged fruit and berries, and flowers from the garden. 💚

Tips for #foraging be gentle with nature, take only what you need, leave no footprints. And every year the mountains and forests will give you back these treasures 💚

#MapleSyrup update! This is what I collected this morning. That grey bucket is five gallons, for scale. I think it’s just over 2 gallons of actual #sap.

I’m told some folks toss out the ice, but when I eat it it tastes sweet to me, so I always just put it all in there.

Are you #tapping #trees this year?
