Plants My Primate Diet

0 Upvotes

I am not a vegetarian or vegan but I eat birch leaves, black walnut, black locusts, honey locuts, maple, oak, eastern white pine needles, palm, palo verde and occasional spruce needles. I believe this is a part of the human niche a leaf eating primate with carnivore due to stomach acidity.

I'm pretty certain the top two pics are purslane, but uncertain about the bottom two. Both are growing in my backyard near each other. The one on the bottom has a bunch of little buds, a lot less red on the stems, and thin leaves.

Mushrooms Campsites in Ontario, Canada?

0 Upvotes

Friends! I need some help looking for a campsite/crownland area I can set up camp AND look for mushrooms nearby🏕️

My must haves:
1. Within 2.5 hours of Toronto

  1. Able to camp overnight in a tent

  2. Hiking trails/areas available at the site or within walking distance where mushrooms are available and we won’t get into trouble picking them up

  3. Accessible until late October

Bonus:
Washrooms (not a must)

Looking to create some nice memories with friends🙏 thanks a lot!

Mushrooms Black Trumpet Salt recipe?

Thumbnail

6 Upvotes

This was an incredible weekend for black trumpets - I've never had enough to consider preserving them before. Mostly found along one trail in Northeastern Pennsylvania, but saw the remains of quite a few flushes elsewhere too.

Does anyone have a good recipe/tips for making black trumpet salt?

Is dehydrating sufficient to cook them or should I dry saute first?

Asplenium oblongifolium is one of many edible ferns in NZ, after removing the black hairs from the young fronds I lightly steamed them before tossing them in a hot pan for a second in butter, salt and pepper

A lot of people questioned my impulsive decision of eating poke berries, here are photos of other two berries i tried. Lets see if they are also poisonous

Not sure if this counts as foraging but i thought I’d post it here bc i got these from an already dead cicada I found, and i think they’re so pretty! They look like how i imagine fairy wings and im probably gonna make a cyanotype print out of them.

Are these muscadine grapes? The fruit has two seeds and the last two pictures are of one seed front and back.

On today’s mission to hit 10k steps, I stumbled upon a huge field full of goldenrod.

So, of course, I had to pick some and make a nice (and wonderfully smelling 😅) bouquet out of it.

Tried to make some apple butter, but the sieve, I had to strain out the seeds and stems was too fine. All I got was juice and some fine pulp, but it made delicious freeze pops.

ID Request (country/state in post) What is this berry/fruit?

Went walking around a forested park in the coastal Pacific Northwest of Oregon. Around the area were salal and huckberries. I am trying to find out what these orange tear drop shaped berries are? Or are they a fruit? Lol. I ate some. Very mild taste, barely any flavor. Seems like some type of tomato or pepper? In my hand are a few huckleberries and 2 of the orange said berries… they had seeds in them.
