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!

Tips for #foraging be gentle with nature, take only what you need, leave no footprints.

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

#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?

The toyon shrubs are bursting into bloom after a good many atmospheric rivers and mild weather and now some warm weather these past few days. I haven't noticed many bees around to partake of all this nectar though. I'm looking forward to loads of red berries around Winter solstice for the birds for cider and wine.

#Found a small colony of #BlackElfinSaddle #fungi - #HelvellaDryophila 😊
Often found on forest floor but these were growing out of a bed of #moss on a dead log.
These #mushrooms are #edible when cooked. I don't eat them as I prefer other edible #WildMushrooms for cooking.
NEVER eat any wild foods that you're not 100% able to identify! Rule 1 of #WildFood foraging.
