The mushrooms don't stop!

With so many myths regarding mushrooms. It's easy to feel nervous about picking and eating a wild one.

*Make sure you carry a mesh bag, so the spores can travel as you harvest* MYTH

Mycelium is under us everywhere and is the most prolific lifeform on the planet. It doesn't need your help in that way. So pick away. I commonly stash them in a backpack or small sack while on the trails.

*Make sure you cut the mushroom at the base to ensure you aren't hurting them and they will grow back* MYTH

The Mycelium network under the soil is what the fruiting bodies[mushrooms] sprout from. Ripping the entire mushroom up isn't killing the network under the soil. So harvest away as best you can.

Mushrooms are super unique, in the fact that they breathe oxygen, and exhale carbon dioxide. They are very much alive, and should be ingested by everyone for the nutrient density and medicinal properties alike. We are fortunate to have a plethora of wild natives that seasonally flavor your food as well as sustain a healthy body and mind.

Oysters are out!
This is one of my favorite times of year for mushroom hunting. Summer into fall has the best varieties and the most prolific choice edibles.
Get out after rains and find some gold

From berry to bottle
Fresh foraged Elderberries made into a simple syrup. Get all of the antioxidants in any method of consumption. From tea to fruit and especially cocktails, elderberry syrup is extremely beneficial medicinally, as well as being a choice native edible.

Native Pawpaws are out in full swing and
Same with Native Elderberries!
Search by rivers and streams for the easily recognizable large oval leaf of the pawpaw. You'll see the green clusters of fruit ripening from now until September. Beat the deer and harvest some for yourself! Wash in warm water for 20 minutes to get rid of the common fungus that rots pawpaws quickly. You can refrigerate for weeks. Or mash the ripe pulp and freeze for later use. Tastes of sweet custard.
The Elderberries are commonly confused with Missouri Native Poke, which is NOT EDIBLE UNLESS PREPARED CORRECTLY. Both plants elderberry and poke are very easy to distinguish once you see them. ID safely and get to hunting!
