5.9.18 Foraging From The Wild

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE foraging & harvesting from the wild.

Morels, brains, coral mushrooms are popping right now and something many of you consider a weed is right in front of you and such a fantastic thing to forage - dandelion!

Dandelion should be looked upon as a garden green high in vitamins A, C, E, and B complex, iron, calcium and potassium as well. The entire Dandelion is edible and is extremely useful medicinally.

We make dandelion salad (topped with hot bacon dressing - recipe in my cookbook and on our site - https://trayerwilderness.com/oh-the-benefits-of-dandelion/)

It is EXTREMELY important that you do your due diligence in finding proper resources to help you identify your plants. Whether that is via books, classes or someone local to you that is well versed in plant and mushroom identification. ESPECIALLY, foraging mushrooms. Most plants do have a deadly look a like and it is important that you know how to tell the difference.

Here is a fantastic course that you could take to help you better identify plants and to have a better understanding: http://trayerwilderness.com/botanywildcraftingcourse

These are my favorite foraging reference books:
