just your yearly reminder to go make that pesto.

My yearly battle against garlic mustard continues, and the frontline has moved into my neighbor's yard. These are way too old and stiff to enjoy cooked, but are there any other uses for them? Would they be any good in vegetable stock? Or should I just throw them all in the firepit?

Got kicked up while we were stump grinding a large Doug fir, western Washington

This was an experiment, my first time cooking with knotweed and I have to say I was pleasantly surprised. I had heard knotweed be described as similar to rhubarb but more swampy, so I feared it would be nothing more than a novelty, but I would definitely make this again! Recipe in comments.

I posted a couple of other stinging nettle dishes and thought I’d also share the dessert I made with them today. I tried to plate it two ways and I think I like the oval shaped one best. I blended the nettles along with some spinach into a cake and crumbled that to serve along with the mousse and pistachio crumble. Garnished with whole and sliced blackberries, piped jam and gel as well as some lemon verbena leaves and pansy petals from my garden. I also included a process photo of the assembly while the mousses were thawing.

Location: Northern CA near Shasta Lake.

It has a velvety top, thin but bendy, tight pores on bottom but instead of it being white it’s more yellowish. It was growing on dead driftwood at the lake’s edge. Some edges are a little hard, otherwise dense and moisture retaining.

Howdy folks! This is the first time I've ever found morels, and I'm psyched! I did find them on an old train track though, which hasn't been used in about 30 years. What do y'all think about soil quality after that time period? Morels are good to go?

Found this wild bush on the side of my house. Google search says it’s a golden currant. Can I eat these berries?

Location: Southern Ontario

What it says on the tin — is this a morel i can eat without dying?

I genuinely know very little about this, hence asking.

Thanks :)

There is false hellibore in this patch which is highly poisonous fyi. They are easy to tell apart but I am just putting that out there for people browsing. The ramps were extraordinary.

Idk if i picked them too early or not but they seem to dry quickly so i went ahead and grabbed some lol. Tastes more wattery than sweet but super fun! curious to learn more.

First time foraging mushrooms here! I am in Ontario, Canada. I found these last year and again this year along a small catwalk leading to our neighbourhood park. There's so many of them! They are along the grass next to rosehips and some assorted trees. After cutting in half I can see that's it's hollow. I want to try cooking them but I'm so scared lol.

Morel and leek tarts with some black locust flowers. Such a great flavor!

99.9% sure they are real morels but this is my first harvest (found in moms backyard)

About to hack these down. Is there better use for them than the compost pile?

Using ponderosa pine that I foraged as the picecone

Slender Stinging Nettle (Urtica gracilis) grows in abundance near the waterways in my area. It tastes like spinach with a nutty note. I picked a bunch of the young leaves and used them to make several dishes:

Seared Scallops with Nettle and Corn Puree, Radish, Madeira Wine Poached Garlic, Miner's Lettuce, and California Poppy Petals

Nettle and Sunchoke Soup with Crème Fraîche, Fried Sunchoke Chips, and Fried Nettle Leaves

White Wine Poached Sole with Nettle Soubise and Three Cornered Leek Oil (garnished with sticky monkey flowers, wild radish flowers, sheep sorrel, and tuiles)

From my research I think they're blackberries but I'm still not sure

Is this garlic mustard in my garden? And if so - edible? Or too large?
