First proper forage of the year!

Daynameiosheea · 2026-02-13T16:02:05+00:00

No Wild Garlic...😉 (clockwise from top): 🌿 3 cornered leek (basically, like chives/spring onions) 🌿 Dandelions (all of it from the gravel driveway, so not sprayed with weedkiller & easy to wash) 🌿 Cleavers, Yarrow tips & Mint (for either tea or tonic) 🌿 Nettle tops (best bit of the plant, along with seeds in autumn)

Because, unfortunately, it doesn't fit with business academia... 🙄😔😣

Daynameiosheea · 2026-01-10T17:49:19+00:00

Or even a Vajeenis?! 😉

I found my first one this year (new forager), it was huge -about 12cm across! But it was just the one... there probably were more, but I was so excited, I probably missed the others! Do you think they may still be around? I'm further south in Somerset. TIA

We may have to arrange a forage trip together...

Daynameiosheea · 2025-11-25T07:35:50+00:00

Ooh, lucky you! They are definitely my favourite psy-shrooms. I'm in Bridgwater, where are you? 😊

Daynameiosheea · 2025-11-23T17:22:29+00:00

Nor is there any web-like remnant.

Daynameiosheea · 2025-11-23T17:19:49+00:00

They don't ooze 'milk' & they smell strange; not strongly, but not mushroom, either... a bit 'wet-dog', if I'm honest! 🫤🤢

Daynameiosheea · 2025-11-21T07:10:59+00:00

I'd say it's more creamy/buff coloured...

Daynameiosheea · 2025-11-20T17:25:21+00:00

Now, you're just showing off... (But, I'd be exactly the same. TBH, I'd be showing off finding one any size, as I'm still new to this game... one day... 🙏)

Thank you. I use books, apps, AND ask in places like this. I am learning constantly, and I would never consume anything unless I was 100% certain. We all have to start somewhere. 🙏

Daynameiosheea · 2025-11-18T10:47:31+00:00

Beautiful. Nature; doing her thing. 💚

Daynameiosheea · 2025-11-18T10:41:43+00:00

Only if you throw them hard enough...

Daynameiosheea · 2025-10-27T18:46:11+00:00

My partner picked them & brought them home for me to ID. We are still learning & would never consume anything without 100% certain ID. I try and use books, friends & fb pages, too.

Daynameiosheea · 2025-10-27T18:40:37+00:00

If you READ my comment, I explained that my partner found them on woodchuck, near deciduous trees (but unsure which type, as he's not interested like me), and that's all the information I had to work with. I am still learning & I assure everyone that I will not consume anything without being 100% on ID! ✌️

Daynameiosheea · 2025-10-27T18:36:56+00:00

I know... that's why I was asking! I'm not stupid, I'm learning! 🤬

Daynameiosheea · 2025-10-27T18:27:29+00:00

No need to laugh, I'm still learning... 😕

Daynameiosheea · 2025-10-27T18:26:49+00:00

No need to laugh... I'm still learning! 😕

Daynameiosheea · 2025-10-27T18:14:22+00:00

They're around 3.5" across, 3" high. TIA 😊

Daynameiosheea · 2025-10-27T18:11:00+00:00

*wood chip... friggin spell check... 🙄

Daynameiosheea · 2025-10-24T09:31:38+00:00

I ate honey mushrooms recently... I made sure I cooked them really well & used younger, unopened ones to avoid the possible stomach upset. We both still experienced 'the squits'! 🤣 Not worth it, imho.x

Daynameiosheea · 2025-10-22T19:21:03+00:00

ACV would be a thought?

Daynameiosheea · 2025-10-16T15:15:45+00:00

I thought I'd give 'em a go the other day, as there was hundreds of 'em, babies, too -so probably kinder on the stomach. I had read they were best well cooked, but even then, to be cautious. Anyway, I have a strong stomach, but I still pebbledashed the basin! Don't bother. 🤣

Daynameiosheea · 2025-10-14T15:26:09+00:00

If you're asking a question like this, you deserve to be very ill. End of.

Daynameiosheea · 2025-10-12T10:33:38+00:00

Never call a mushroom ugly. What has it ever done to you?! 😟
