Yew tree, super toxic sap / needles and eating / chewing the fruit pip is deadly.. but! The flesh on the berries is delightful. Tastes like Fuchsia nectar

And somebody got to this one before I did.

Like the title says, ran out of coffee and had to improvise. Roasted some mesquite pods in the oven at 350 for 30 mins. After they cooled, into the food processor they went. After being ground, they were sifted and then put into my pour over dripper just like any other real coffee.

No caffeine, so its like drinking a cup of really good decaf, but hey, at least I can still somewhat satisfy the morning ritual until I can get some real coffee later.

I prefer to use this as a coffee extender or to make pour quality coffee taste better, but it does good on its own.

Found this guy on a jobsite today. Does this look like its too far past its prime or is it good for the picking?

Working a field job and a co-worker pulls a Pippin (mushrooms!) so I headed over to check it out. This is after over half had been claimed. We left alone over 10 bunches just as big on nearby trees.

He made chicken tenders. I made spaghetti.

A very quick “spot” check and I was surprised with what I received from my area today. There were a couple of other little heads but I left those. I didn’t even get to the trees that I harvested from last year!! Gotta be at least 3lbs 😅

These are coming up all over my front lawn. Is there something happening relative to these mushrooms I should know about? Are they poisonous? Big clusters have grown together and they are sizable individually.

tried to get multiple angles of the leaves

I just want to make sure, is this Hens of the woods. Found in Southern Indiana.

Went out foraging with a friend today and we certainly found a haul….

Biggest wins were a finding persimmon tree (didn’t get a ton but my friend is planning to make jam!) and a MASSIVE puffball. This is absurdly lucky for us, we don’t go out all that often and are definitely more “casual” foragers.

After peeling the skin and cutting any bad bits (I was pretty generous with what I cut off, anything I’m not using goes straight to the garden for the critters, so nothing is wasted) I still have all of this. I’ve really never had this much mushroom at once so I’m sort of at a loss as to what to do with it.

Give me your best puffball recipes! I’ve got a ton and am eager to make use of it.

Hello there! I was out foraging today in the central Oregon Sisters area and stumbled across these guys. Any ideas what they might be?

i always love just how beautiful pacific golden chanterelles are. so delicious too! only found a handful but i know where there’s some juicy spots now👀

Found alongside a walking trail in a park near(ish) a river. Strong mushroom scent upon cutting.

Someone else found some nearby and appears to have bisected them by hand and chosen to leave them, which of course makes me wonder if they noticed something I didn't.

-Can we confirm this is puffball?

-Does it look safe to try a small bit to see how I react?

this is the first time I’ve been brave enough to eat a mushroom I’ve been 100% certain of the ID. I was 100% certain with some chicken of the woods and pink oysters before but was too scared to try them. this time I was brave and sautéed a little bit with olive oil, salt, pepper and garlic and served it on pesto! delicious!

Hi, found this in my yard, I live in east tennessee if it helps, im just trying to find out what it is so that I know if its safe for me or my dogs to be around

Out of over 50 acorns, almost every single one had a black spot, discoloration, or looked like they had had bugs in them despite no apparent holes on the outside of the shell. The last picture shows the ones I think are okay, but I would still like to make sure.

Daily walk on the trails behind my office.

I just found a whole heap of tiny little pecauns, and I don't have enough patience to crack them by hand.

Does anyone have any faster processing methods than one at a time?

I found a few of trhem and after consulting with my mushroom group we're confident is Rhizopogon roseolus, we see its somewhat popular to eat in japan from googling but no experience preparing them. anyone try them before?
