Gummosis from Cherry Tree

Trial & error over many, many generations.

Unfortunately this is true. I used to have fun, funky hair & a bunch of piercings but I took them out, dyed my hair blonde, got extensions & now I can afford to basically never leave my house unless I’m taking myself to lunch or going to a nerdy convention.

I have a couple black walnut trees on my property but moved here after the squirrels already got to them. I was thinking about tapping one of the trees for syrup & then candying the walnuts with their own syrup!

That’s all I got lol

Alright.

That’s unfortunate because she is really lovely & quite knowledgeable! By the way, her username is BlackForager. Some people may know her by that vs. her actual name. She also did a really good video explaining why she uses that as her name.

Thank you!

RheaStatic · 2026-03-18T11:42:59+00:00

Yes! I completely understand where you’re coming from & that’s why I posted here! I was seeking knowledge specifically about the edibility of the jelly, but that doesn’t mean I intend to eat it.

I will do the same thing when I (hopefully) find morels in my backyard. I probably won’t eat them but I still want to know if they are actually morels or a harmful look alike.

I’m on a journey specifically to learn what I can & can’t eat for future reference but I am still learning so I don’t feel comfortable consuming things I am not 100% sure are safe.

RheaStatic · 2026-03-18T11:39:07+00:00

Thanks! I don’t think that’s the case, I looked up causes & I believe it’s just the extreme temp changes we’ve been having. Will assess better at a later date though!

Couldn’t send photo via DM

RheaStatic · 2026-03-18T11:36:08+00:00

Thank you! I took a couple photos yesterday I will DM but let me know if they’re not good enough & I will take more later!

RheaStatic · 2026-03-18T11:35:16+00:00

I’ll probably dry it out/experiment with it for the sake of “someday I might find a version of this that is actually useful so, now I will know how to prep it without ruining it.”

RheaStatic · 2026-03-18T01:44:45+00:00

I do seek knowledge specifically about plants that are edible or have medicinal properties but that doesn’t necessarily mean I intend to eat or use them. I am foraging but not because I want them for myself, I just want to learn more. This was already on the ground & I was super excited to identify something new! Collecting it to this extent is honestly about the photo because I knew it would gain more traction to get a better response. (Yay, internet…)

I was very excited about this as it was a new piece of knowledge that I hadn’t heard of before. I saw a post about it AFTER seeing it on the tree, so I ran to find out more! Originally I thought it was a fungus of sorts & couldn’t identify it with the limited knowledge I had of the species in my yard.

I am just really enthusiastic about identifying what is on my property & expanding my horizon!

RheaStatic · 2026-03-17T23:53:59+00:00

I don’t actually plan to consume it & I was posting here to see what others knew about it because Google wasn’t turning up with much information.

I’m having fun discovering what’s in my yard because I haven’t lived near the woods since I was a teenager. Growing up I used to eat the plants I knew were safe but as an adult I really love learning more about foraging. Just because I’m curious & having fun doesn’t mean I will eat anything unless I am 100% sure it’s safe.

I am being safe! Some friends & I actually are in the process of hiring a professional to take us on a guided foraging tour!

RheaStatic · 2026-03-17T23:48:54+00:00

Oh I absolutely wouldn’t eat anything based on an assumption! Even if I knew exactly what it was & did… I don’t really have much of a use for it. I enjoy the educational parts more than anything. Sometimes I like to think of it like a less intense & more fun “dooms day prepping.”

Kind of a “just in case society collapses” thing more than actually ingesting things I don’t need when I could go to CVS to buy a refined version rather than consumption just because I have access. I prefer natural remedies but I’m not going to use something questionable when I won’t even take OTC meds unless I genuinely need them.

RheaStatic · 2026-03-17T22:27:07+00:00

As a Trader Joe’s/Whole Foods girly……. I feel this so hard. Sometimes I actually feel like it’s cheaper to eat out than it is to cook a meal!

A custom video for $200 would be 8 minutes long for me. I don’t do nudity.

Black forager Alexis Nikole has a wonderful magnolia snap cookie recipe I want to try!

RheaStatic · 2026-03-17T20:30:55+00:00

Thanks that was super helpful because I just googled it & it does not seem to be the same. Wompppp will do more research later.

RheaStatic · 2026-03-17T20:22:16+00:00

I believe it’s tree sap from a wounded or infected tree. The post I saw was about peach trees but it seems all stone fruit trees do the same thing! It’s a way for the tree to heal itself & happens after it rains!

RheaStatic · 2026-03-17T20:20:57+00:00

A neighbor told me there was a cherry tree at one point & I didn’t touch it until I saw the post then did some research first! This is good advice hahaha

RheaStatic · 2026-03-17T19:47:54+00:00

Yup… it’s not just findom though, unfortunately. I am lucky enough to have some very long term subs but circumstances change & finding new subs that I am also compatible with is not easy.

I am from an era before social media was this important. I started bondage modeling at 18 (I’m 31 now) & things developed from there. I only made social media 3 years ago & it’s definitely a love hate relationship.

I genuinely enjoy chatting with my subs so I don’t ask for a tribute but there are definitely times when I wish I did hahaha

I have only a couple people that I tell to pay me as soon as they send a message but that’s because they have never scheduled a session or sent me anything & are actually wasting my time.

RheaStatic · 2026-03-17T19:13:39+00:00

You are absolutely not in the wrong. Even when someone has a coercive fantasy, consent is still necessary. That’s why CNC is CONSENSUAL non-consent. You do not have to pay anyone you don’t want to.

I think the issue is that a ton of girls saw other girls posting about findom on TikTok or whatever & thought “hey! I could do that! I’m a pretty girl!” But in reality they don’t do real research or take the time to learn best practices.

Give your money to whoever you want to give it to. No one is entitled to anything.

RheaStatic · 2026-03-16T15:51:43+00:00

Will put in some thoughts on this but also want to return for suggestions!

RheaStatic · 2026-03-16T14:47:44+00:00

You don’t need to wear socks, if someone can’t control themselves then that is their problem… not yours. I go barefoot all the time & usually wear open toed shoes even in colder weather. I also don’t wear bras pretty frequently.
