Foraging from Nature

[T4920]

Are any of you amateurs foragers UK based? It's something I'd love to get involved in, but wouldn't know where to start!

I only found one big mama morel this year. I went out on a day I thought would be incredibly “fruitful” and found this within a minute. Unfortunately I didn’t find anything else the entire season?!?

@Smiladon that’s a nice one. Be fun to walk into a patch that size.

[Smiladon]

@SKT
You got that right!
This was found in a place that was once like that. I still go there every year but it has never replicated the same experience as it did 20+ years ago. Found literally pounds that year, late 90s while still in high school.
It made a lifer out of me!
Just wish it would happen again.

Are these the kind of mushrooms I’m hoping they are @Oaktavia according my phone they are enoki.

[twin]

Wild Persimmons found them today.

[Oaktavia]

@Fadez those I am not sure about my friend.

[Oaktavia]

@twin that's cool

[twin]

@Fadez I would NOT eat them.

[twin]

@Oaktavia We made jam one time with them.

[Oaktavia]

@twin I would be curious how that jam tastes...

[Fadez]

Yeah @twin I am not going to eat them. Thanks for checking @Oaktavia

[Oaktavia]

@Fadez keep looking!

[Oaktavia]

@Fadez I found more oysters growing on the stumps! They usually pop up after a big rain. They are on the menu in this house tonight.

[Fadez]

Dude! That’s a big haul @Oaktavia !!! Dinner will be delicious

[Oaktavia]

More oysters from the logs out back

[Oaktavia]

[Fadez]

Oyster mushroom heaven you got there!

[Oaktavia]

Largest oysters I have found so far. On a pile of rotting logs in the front yard. So much fun to find them. These will be battered and fried tomorrow night. @Fadez

[Fadez]

Nice haul @Oaktavia I might need to drive a few hours south to eat dinner with you one night
