Tumbleweed :-/

[foragingmouse]

Come on peps .......and action 

well I like a good chat and being I forage alone and only share with you online virtual friends I am needing nuturing so I figure a good thread is needed 

so slightly predictable I'm going for the , age old question of 'what is your allusive foraged finds ' you know that one or two or ten things we all have on our mental lists that would give us butterflies and take us back to Christmas morning as a child , the excitement of that one thing we have searched for :-) 

so here's mine ,

the roman nettle 
the old man of the woods (shroom ) 
and basil leaved thyme 

So what's yours 

[edenwildfood]

Sorbus Tormenalis - Wild Service Tree (the berries, chequerberries)

Boletus Edulis

Sweet Cicely

loads of others mainly the expensive mushroom varieties. But those 3 sprung to mind.

[foragingmouse]

Ahh yes service tree has eluded me also

[edenwildfood]

youre in prime service tree location too, theyre supposed to be lots in bristol channel type area

[foragingmouse]

I know it's going to be one of those where when I stop looking I'll find loads I've been looking for Burnett saxifrage this year found a good spot yesterday and today found them in at least five locations

[edenwildfood]

I spent 4 hours in a wood that claimed to have wild service trees, there was even an info board talking about it but i'll be buggered if i could find them

[foragingmouse]

I'm convinced if we look to hard we get blinded and blinkered and can't see the wood through the trees

For a moment I was trying to work out what tumbleweed was!

For me I'm desperate for horn of plenty, craterellus cornucopiaides. I was in perfect location for it last year, loads of hedgehogs and winter chanterelles but no sign of the trumpet. This year, I WILL find it!

I swear every tweet absolutelywild made around the time was more of them.

[foragingmouse]

He seems to do that a lot (peter absolutely wild ) constantly making me feel inferior lol

[edenwildfood]

lol, yes he does seem to do well with fungi, but you def have some really good plant finds, and you had oysters yesterday, which is why i felt ok rubbing it in with my COTW find this morning.

[foragingmouse]

The millers today should keep him on his toes but he's been out all day also so who knows what finds he will throw in , did you see the meadow saffron I posted today they are stunning almost glow in the grass

[emmac]

chaga & reishi

cranberry

goji

I'll die and go to heaven

[foragingmouse]

Gojis lol you may have a walk on :-) I've found Chaga , should be easy for you being north never
Say never :-)

[emmac]

I'm not north enough! yeah, gojis would be amazing. possible...

I'm in Kent, so would love to find chanterelles down here, also horn of plenty. I once found an area of the woods carpeted with them but I was about a week late in finding them as they were all well gone

I would love to find some of the beautiful types of earth stars.

Have yet to find cauliflower fungus too.
