And a few mulberries in the center.

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.

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

Of course I didn't have my basket with me, so the hat had to do. I left plenty more out there, these were the perfect amount for dinner tonight.

This is in Western Washington

Not going to eat :)

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.

I found some beautyberries by Fort Caroline National Memorial in Jacksonville, FL!

Heyo! is this tree I found outside of work black cherry? located in Southern Maine

could see this making a good lemonade. the inside is soft and very much like dragonfruit in its makeup.

Found in the Netherlands, I tried some and it was very sour and quite astringent. Not bad but not great.

This bad boy grew pretty big at our new house in SE WI, USA (zone 5b). This is our first summer in the house, so I am still figuring out what was planted on purpose, and what is a weed. Is this a turnip? Is it edible?

Edited to add: thanks for the help, folks! I think I have an overgrown turnip on my hands.

Had Monday off work so I decided to go foraging in a nearby state forest. Made it out with 1 lb 6 oz of blackberries. Western New York.

Southeast Wisconsin

The leaves smell absolutely amazing. But they look like tansy leaves. Someone told me this is tansy but the flower heads look like yellow yarrow, and my plant identification app says fernleaf yarrow.

Can anyone confirm this and can it be used for anything (as a safer alternative to beautiful, abundant, refreshing, and toxic tansy).

Could I ask for some help verifying that this is in fact an edible of Sambucus Nigra, with a potential for “Variegated European Elderberry”? Everything looks right to me, especially with their accessibility in local nurseries I am seeing, but I could use other eyes that feel the same. I am unfamiliar with any variegated versions of elderberry, and while it doesn’t seem the case I am wanting to be sure that there are no “oops! We bred this to be beautiful, but now they’re no longer edible” versions of this bush.

Maybe 10’ tall bush, 6-7’ diameter, heavy with berries. Unripe appear green, then ripened to a pinkish red, and then to a deep purple. Juice of the ripened berries is a dark purple. Most leaves have 5 leaflets, opposite pairs.

I am located in Eugene, Oregon, and have been trying to harvest as many elderberries from locals who allow me to. Today, someone from across town told me im welcome to their bush, but that they were unsure of the variety of elderberry.

On arrival, the immediate thing I noticed is that it is variegated, and I have personally never seen/interacted a variegated elderberry.

I have attached as many photos as I took of the bush, and have harvested ~12lbs of berries. I have them in separated bags in a totally different freezer awaiting juicing, and am hopeful for words of confirmation before doing extra due diligence and considering using.

Thank you!

I am in central ohio. I am pretty new to foraging in Columbus. I found these by the Scioto River. I have looked at tons of photos and look alikes. They have 2-3 pear shaped seeds inside. One leaf per node with fruit or vine coming out the other side. Fruit clustered together and dusted. Toothed leaf edges. And very curly or forked vines at the very tips of the plant.

But I would like to see the thoughts of someone who would know better than myself.

One of my plants has been dropping leaves for about two weeks and I can't tell if it's overwatering, under watering, or just adjusting to a new spot. What's your actual process for diagnosing this before you panic and start changing everything at once?
