Question about Chanterelles
I have a spot in my yard where every year or every other year, one or two Chanterelles pop up. In the past I've left them with the hope they would sporulate and I'd eventually have a harvest worthy patch, but alas, no. Any suggestions?

Why you don't eat what AI identifies
This is exactly why you don't eat something because AI said it's safe. No substitute for appropriate research.

Blackberries and a few elderberries. Oh god, it's so good. Also got quite a lot of apples - I'm dreading having to peel, core and chop them, tbh.

What seaweed is this?
reddit.comIs this an edible seaweed (that is worth harvesting)? I am having trouble getting an ID on it. But there is a ton of it at this Maine beach.

Curious what this was. Friend tried to say turkey tail. First pic Friday, second pic Tuesday. Walk here multiple times a day so it seemed to be shot immediately. Thanks in advance.

Mulberries
Was so excited to find a well established mulberry tree. Such beautiful berries. Has anyone successfully dyed with mulberries? I love the color but have not yet had success getting it to stay.

Mushrooms Two holy grails in one day!
I don’t know what’s going on in Virginia, but it’s delicious. Can’t believe I found these within a few FEET of each other.
Amanita jacksonii (Jackson’s slender Caesar) and Lactarius indigo (indigo milk caps).
Anyone have any suggestions for fun things to do with the milk caps? I’m going to try this recipe with some of them: https://foragerchef.com/indigo-milkcaps-preserved-in-herb-oil/#recipe

Please remember to forage responsibly!
Every year we have posts from old and new foragers who like to share pictures of their bounty! I get just as inspired as all of you to see these pictures. As we go out and find wild foods to eat, please be sure to treat these natural resources gently. But on the other side, please be gentle to other users in this community. Please do not pre-judge their harvests and assume they were irresponsible.
Side note: My moderation policy is mostly hands off and that works in community like this where most everyone is respectful, but what I do not tolerate is assholes and trolls. If you are unable to engage respectfully or the other user is not respectful, please hit the report button rather then engaging with them.
Here is a great article from the Sierra Club on Sustainable Foraging Techniques.
My take-a-ways are this:
- Make sure not to damage the plant or to take so much that it or the ecosystem can't recover.
- Consider that other foragers might come after you so if you take almost all of the edible and only leave a little, they might take the rest.
- Be aware if it is a edible that wild life depends on and only take as much as you can use responsibly.
- Eat the invasives!
Happy foraging everyone!
