Once again I'm just showing off what's in our little forest. The abundance of wild food is incredible... From mushrooms to wild game, it's all here!!! And we're only sitting on 20 acres. I know it's a lot of land/forest for a lot of people, but it's not really huge, in the grand scheme of it all.
We get a first flush of Golden Oysters early spring, by mid fall or so we've had about 5 flushes. We typycally only harvest what we can eat and a little more to give away, so in the end we collect about 50 pounds of oyters a year. We also dry some, just enough to have a little left over by the time spring rolles around again!
This journey for knowledge of wild foods has become an incredible passion. I love it so much, wherever we go, I'm always on the look out for anything I can recognize and identify. It's a preatty awesome thing to be passionate about!!!
And yo know, once you can identify a certain plant, or mushroom it's like the alphabet. You cannot forget what a "G" looks like right? Yeah, same same with nature.
Thanks for Stopping by!

Wow that's amazing! What a gift! Hope you are well! Havne't seen your happy smiling face in ages!
Yeah doin great... well besides the lower back pain and sciatica thing (it wakes me up every morning between 3 and 5, no big deal! I'm tired as shit now a days though!!!!
So good to see you, I think about you guys out there in Australia all the time. I've not been posting much of anything lately... concentrating on building an Etsy shop and finding other ways to get money so I don't have to rely entirely on my body.
But yeah thanks, that tree is so great with mushrooms, it's truly a blessing. I found it one day walking about the property off trails and there is was down the hill shining in the sun. The only spot the sun was cutting through the canopy actually. I was lucky to be there right when these beauties fruited!!!
Hope you're well
amazing harvest! and I totally agree, once you start to know a plant, you see it everywhere and cannot forget it. true magic!
Yes! I'm glad someone else agrees with this! I've been telling some friends about it but they doubt it very much... can't get the concept is the same as the alphabet.
Thanks
