My wife and I were walking through a forest preserve this morning and came across a very large patch that we first thought was thick grass. She started smelling onions/garlic and decided to pick some up. We've been doing lots of research trying to figure out if they are wild onions or death camas. Biggest thing for us is the strong onion smell they give off, but a poster in another sub said the smell isn't always a dead give away. Any help differentiating wild onions onions from death camas would be appreciated, thank you!

I found this white spiky mushroom on a walk in the woods this morning. Any ideas what it might be? I am based in Ireland 🍄

sorry if wrong sub

I found this shrub along the fencing on roadside in bay area near my home, It has red fruits that look like raspberry but are slightly bigger. the fruit has a serrated thorny outer skin but soft pulpy inner fruit. If you hold it in your hand it becomes squishy even without any pressure. I just tasted one fruit and it is sweet and tastes like raspberry. While scouring thru internet i get mixed feedback that there are innumerable berries that are both edible and poisonous . some AI based image tools identify this fruit as rambutan and lychee (but I know it is incorrect). Can anyone identify this fruit and say if it can be eaten safely.

Title says it all. Curious if it’s too late to find chanterelles near Seattle now that we’re into November.

Hello everyone, I've been seeing a lot of questions about acorn processing that I am hoping this video can answer. I made this video and channel to educate all about acorn foraging and processing. This first video details the fastest and easiest way to cold leach acorns that I know of. It is a method I don't see talked about much in the acorn foraging world, yet it is based off of the way native Americans of California would leach their acorns. It will cold leach acorn meal in a matter of hours, not days or weeks. Have any of you heard of this or tried this?

P.S. if you have any acorn questions, feel free to dm me anytime. I know quite a bit, I've been doing this for over 10 years. Good luck!

I have read online that Italian cypress is not highly toxic to humans but that it might cause GI problems. Would the fermented syrup from the cones themselves be toxic?

Anyone used one? Does it work? Is it worth trying?

I've done much research on the edibility of the magnolia fruit and its not poisonous in anyway and will not make you sick. Why has no one tried to use their flavor to perhaps make a jelly?

Nice Burl on what I believe is a chestnut oak to boot! Nothern Georgia, USA

I can’t believe I’ve found Lion’s Mane on my property. Does this look decent to eat?

Hey all, Sam Thayer makes the claim in his foraging book that all asters are edible. I assume he is referring to the genus Aster, which has now been split into symphotricum and other genus’. Before I munch down on any aster I see, does anyone have more info on this?
