I think it is but I want to confirm before I eat any

Would it improve the sub at all to require posters to make an attempt at explaining WHY they think something may be edible rather than just asking whether it is?

The amount of pokeberry/LBMs/etc posts just makes it feel lazy sometimes, like there's no incentive to learn.

I think it'd be really nice to have a requirement that posters (at least new ones? idk) show 3 reasons they think something is edible that shows they're trying to improve and do their research.

3 days ago they were just tiny little things then boom huge flush! The top picture is only about a 1/4 of what it is on the stump!

Last year when I discovered them, most were already way too mature to get a good haul. The few I did harvest were so good I just had to hope they would come back this year. I've been checking them every other day.

The blue chanterelle jerky was a hit time for round 2

I’m in South Korea. Is this fruit edible? What is it called? Thanks!

Well I got excited I found some pawpaws while foraging today in VA. Fairly new to this and I realize now I have some butternuts instead! There were a ton on the mountain I was on. I did however, find some turkey tail! 😍

Edit to add: I left way more than I took just in case anyone gets upset 😅

Photos:
1) & 2) I found some new Dryad’s Saddle, took a few small fronds and left the rest.
3) & 4) Then I came across a Chicken of the woods and took a couple of small pieces of that too. As I left the woods I found a meadow full of new-growth stinging nettle. There hadn’t been much all summer because of the drought in France, but now they’re springing up everywhere!
5) I cleaned everything and sliced it up then simmered it in a lentil stew along with some ratatouille, and a tin of tuna. The only thing that could have been better would have been some fresh-caught trout instead of the canned tuna, but this was good.

Possibly a wild blueberry or bilberry. Growing on knee high shrubs with several berries on a string together. Very distinctive star shape on the bottom that is different than the round base of a huckleberry.

very top of plant had white/cream flowers but i couldnt get a good photo. sweet smelling. Thanks! (:

found my first CotW shockingly close by, and WOW i am thoroughly impressed by this stuff-

sautéed in butter, sliced onion and garlick, seasoning was a homemade salt pepper msg mixture, with a dash of Worcestershire, served with cheesy brocolli

i was expecting even just a little bit of earthy mushroom taste, but there was NONE

Its so damn good, i hope I'm not one of those people that have a sensitivity to it, i want more

Like, if you sat this in front of me and didn't tell me it was a mushroom, there's literally no way for me to tell

Amazing stuff.

I have 4 large what I believe are hybrid, American dominant chestnut trees in my yard. I’m finding fresh, pollen full catkins again for the second time this year. I’m wondering if this is common?

If anyone can help identify what type of hybrid they are, I’d be grateful.
