π Matteuccia struthiopteris (Ostrich fern) π¨βπ³ Choice edible, uncommon, short season I had a bumper crop of this edible fern this year. Its season is basically over. It feels very special to find and pick these because there's not a whole lot of them. They don't just grow everywhere in our region. And your picking window is 2 weeks every April. Fortunately this year I found a few more spots. How was your ostrich fern season? . . . . . #plantbased #seasonal #naturalcooking #ediblegarden #edibles #edibleweeds #edibleplants #growyourown #wildfood #edibleflowers #workingwithnature #wildedibles #wildfoodlove #foodie #culinarybiodiversity #foraging #forage #foraged #forager #foragers #foragedfood #gayforager #queerforager #gasianforager #theasianforager #ostrichfern #fiddleheadferns #ediblefern #matteuciastruthiopteris
π Black locust (Robinia pseudoacacia) π¨βπ³ Edible flowers, abundant, short flowering season Last year for the first time I experimented with eating black locust flowers.

π Pleurotus citrinopileatus (Golden oyster) π¨βπ³ Edible, kitchen versatile, great abundance, long fruiting season The first flush of golden oyster is always exciting. The long cold winter has long passed and spring has arrived, opening up so many possibilities. I love the texture of glass noodles, which are made from mung bean, potato, sweet potato, or tapioca starch. The golden oysters help add depth, umami and chewy, crunchy texture. . . . . . #plantbased #wildfood #workingwithnature #wildedibles #wildfoodlove #foraging #forage #foraged #forager #foragers #foragedfood #foragingforfood #foragebyfolk #ediblemushrooms #mushies #ediblefungi #mushroompicking #mushroomforaging #mushroomhunting #mushroomhunter #mushroomseason #mushroomspotting #mushroomlove #theasianforager #gayforager #queerforager #gasianforager 27 #goldenoyster #goldenoystermushrooms #yellowoystermushroom

π Asparagus officinalis (wild asparagus) π¨βπ³ Choice edible, abundant, short season As we're busy looking for spring mushrooms and edible plants/flowers, the wild asparagus season is only a few weeks away in mid May.

π Claytonia virginica (Spring beauty) π¨βπ³ Choice edible, short season, great abundance Mid April is the time for spring ephemerals in the Upper Midwest. Spring beauty is not only beautiful (duh!) but also edible and quite tasty . Everything is edible from top to bottom. Literally the bulbs you dig up are edible--taste like young potatoes. But I like to eat the above ground parts the most. It's a little nutty with texture much like bean sprouts with prominent bean-y flavors. They make a great stir fry with tofu and soy sauce. . . . . . #ediblegarden #edible #edibleweeds #edibleplants #edibleflowers #ediblelandscaping #wildfood #wildfoodlove #workingwithnature #wildedibles #wildharvest #foraging #forage #foraged #forager #foragers #foragedfood #foragingforfood #forageandharvest #forageflowers #foragebyfolk #forageandharvest #theasianforager #gayforager #queerforager #gasianforager #growyourown 27 #claytonia #claytoniavirginica #springbeauty

π Asclepias syriaca (Common Milkweed) π¨βπ³ Edible but must take caution, abundance, short season (for young shoots) If you never had young milkweed shoots, maybe you should give it a try (after double confirming the plant ID). At its young stage, it's so easy to mistake it for the common dogbane (Apocynum cannabinum), which is toxic to humans. The young milkweed shoots are crispy, sweet, and slightly nutty. Such a spring treat! But please leave some for the caterpillars of the monarch butterfly. Or better yet plan your own milkweeds so you can enjoy this special spring treat. . . . . . #ediblegarden #edible #edibleweeds #edibleplants #edibleflowers #ediblelandscaping #wildfood #wildfoodlove #workingwithnature #wildedibles #wildharvest #foraging #forage #foraged #forager #foragers #foragedfood #foragingforfood #forageandharvest #forageflowers #foragebyfolk #forageandharvest #theasianforager #gayforager #queerforager #gasianforager #growyourown 27 #milkweed #asclepias #asclepiassyriaca

π Laccaria ochropurpurea (Purple laccaria) π¨βπ³ Edible, abundant, long season This beautiful edible mushroom is a little unpredictable. Some year they just pop up out of nowhere in the middle of summer to early fall. The cap can be as large as 15 cm in diameter and you can fill up a basket at a time. Other year you'll be lucky to find one or two. . . . . . #wildfood #wildfoodlove #wildharvest #wildedibles #foraging #forage #foraged #forager #foragers #foragedfood #foragingforfood #foragebyfolk #forageandharvest #ediblemushrooms #mushies #ediblefungi #mushroompicking #mushroomforaging #mushroomhunting #mushroomhunter #mushroomseason #mushroomspotting #mushroomlove #theasianforager #gayforager #queerforager #gasianforager 27 #laccaria
π Gyromitra brunnea (Brown false morel) π¨βπ³ Edible β οΈ, uncommon, very short season There's a lot of information and misinformation about false morels (Gyromitra sp) online. Americans in general approach these mushrooms with much caution compared to other peoples in the world (I'm looking at you guys Scandinavians, Eastern Europeans, Russians ...). But even among American mushroom hunters, the attitudes vary. Some relish in eating this species while others don't want them anywhere in or near their digestive track. In general this species of false morel is safe to eat as long as you take necessary precautions and consume in moderation. . . . . . #wildfood #wildfoodlove #wildharvest #wildedibles #foraging #forage #foraged #forager #foragers #foragedfood #foragingforfood #foragebyfolk #forageandharvest #ediblemushrooms #mushies #ediblefungi #mushroompicking #mushroomforaging #mushroomhunting #mushroomhunter #mushroomseason #mushroomspotting #mushroomlove #theasianforager #gayforager #queerforager #gasianforager 27 #gyromitra #falsemorel

π Podophyllum peltatum (Mayapple) π¨βπ³ Edible but must take extreme β οΈ Beautiful mayapple blossoms signal the morel season in full swing. This is a very interesting plant native to Eastern North America. The whole plant is toxic to humans except the ripe fruit, which you'll be very lucky to find in the wild because other mammals also find it irresistible. I'd say that it has the texture resembling a passionfruit but is not as tart. It's fragrant and reminiscent of exotic and tropical fruit. Be careful! You must not swallow the seeds as they can give you stomach upset. . . . . . #plantbased #seasonal #ediblegarden #edibles #edibleweeds #edibleplants #growyourown #wildfood #edibleflowers #workingwithnature #wildedibles #wildfoodlove #foodie #foraging #forage #foraged #forager #foragers #foragedfood #foragingforfood #forageandharvest #forageflowers #foragebyfolk #theasianforager #gayforager #queerforager #gasianforager #mayapple #mayapples #podophyllumpeltatum
π Pleurotus citrinopileatus (Golden oyster) π¨βπ³ Edible, kitchen versatile, great abundance, long fruiting season A clump of baby golden oysters ready to grow. This is a very fast growing mushroom. When the conditions are favorable, they'll grow into maturity in 2-3 days. This highly invasive species from Siberia and northeast Asia is going to keep us in business for a long time. Won't you join us in eating this fungus to keep it under control for the sake of our native Pleurotus species? . . . . . #plantbased #wildfood #workingwithnature #wildedibles #wildfoodlove #foraging #forage #foraged #forager #foragers #foragedfood #foragingforfood #foragebyfolk #ediblemushrooms #mushies #ediblefungi #mushroompicking #mushroomforaging #mushroomhunting #mushroomhunter #mushroomseason #mushroomspotting #mushroomlove #theasianforager #gayforager #queerforager #gasianforager 27 #goldenoyster #goldenoystermushrooms #yellowoystermushroom
π Alliaria petiolata (Garlic mustard) π¨βπ³ Edible, great abundance, short season (for young shoots) Boiled garlic mustards with a spicy chao dipping sauce. This dipping sauce is made from Vietnamese or Chinese fermented bean curds, smashed then adding sugar for sweetness and lime juice for tanginess. Garlic mustard has surprisingly found its way into culinary circles. Despite its aggressive spread, the plant's young shoots and leaves boast a pungent, garlic-like flavor, making them a unique addition to salads, pesto, and sauces. Foraging enthusiasts harness its culinary potential, turning an ecological challenge into a gastronomic opportunity. The invasive nature of garlic mustard underscores the importance of responsible foraging and management practices. While relishing its savory notes in the kitchen, mindful consumption aligns with efforts to mitigate its ecological impact, showcasing the intriguing interplay between culinary exploration and environmental awareness. . . . . . #ediblegarden #edible #edibleweeds #edibleplants #edibleflowers #ediblelandscaping #wildfood #wildfoodlove #workingwithnature #wildedibles #wildharvest #foraging #forage #foraged #forager #foragers #foragedfood #foragingforfood #forageandharvest #forageflowers #foragebyfolk #forageandharvest #theasianforager #gayforager #queerforager #gasianforager #growyourown 27 #garlicmustard #garlicmustardpesto #alliariapetiolata

π Lyophyllum decastes (Fried chicken mushroom) π¨βπ³ Choice edible, kitchen versatile, not common, short season Growing in dense, even huge clusters on the ground, this fungus is usually found where the ground has been disturbed such as roadbeds, gravel, paths, landscaping areas, and sometimes in woods. I was surprised that not much has been written about this mushrooms but it turns out that it's an excellent mushrooms: crispy and meat texture with a faintly fragrant smell. . . . . . #wildfood #wildfoodlove #wildharvest #wildedibles #foraging #forage #foraged #forager #foragers #foragedfood #foragingforfood #foragebyfolk #forageandharvest #ediblemushrooms #mushies #ediblefungi #mushroompicking #mushroomforaging #mushroomhunting #mushroomhunter #mushroomseason #mushroomspotting #mushroomlove #theasianforager #gayforager #queerforager #gasianforager 27 #lyophyllumdecastes #lyophyllum
π Morchella americana (Blonde morel) π¨βπ³ Choice edible, not abundant and unpredictable, short season The ephemeral nature of morel mushrooms, typically appearing in spring for a brief period, intensifies their allure. Their short-lived presence creates a sense of urgency, making the hunt for morels a seasonal treasure hunt that enthusiasts eagerly embrace. The combination of their unique appearance, culinary value, elusive nature, and seasonal occurrence makes morel mushrooms a source of fascination and excitement for foragers every spring. . . . . . #wildfood #wildfoodlove #wildharvest #wildedibles #foraging #forage #foraged #forager #foragers #foragedfood #foragingforfood #foragebyfolk #forageandharvest #ediblemushrooms #mushies #ediblefungi #mushroompicking #mushroomforaging #mushroomhunting #mushroomhunter #mushroomseason #mushroomspotting #mushroomlove #theasianforager #gayforager #queerforager #gasianforager 27 #morchella #morchellaesculenta #morelseason
π Hosta sp. π¨βπ³ Edible (all parts), great abundance, long season In early spring, if you miss the chance to harvest young hosta shoots (which taste like asparagus spears), no worries--you can still eat the leaves and flowers a few weeks/months later. Unopened flowers are sweet and delicious in a stir-fry. . . . . . #ediblegarden #edible #edibleweeds #edibleplants #edibleflowers #ediblelandscaping #wildfood #wildfoodlove #workingwithnature #wildedibles #wildharvest #foraging #forage #foraged #forager #foragers #foragedfood #foragingforfood #forageandharvest #forageflowers #foragebyfolk #forageandharvest #theasianforager #gayforager #queerforager #gasianforager #growyourown 27 #hosta #hostas #hostagarden

π Ustilago maydis (Huitlacoche, corn smut, Mexican truffle) π¨βπ³ Edible, abundant, short season Huitlacoche has a long history in Mexican culinary traditions. Indigenous peoples in Mesoamerica, including the Aztecs, have been consuming huitlacoche for centuries. The exact timeline is challenging to determine, but it is believed to have been part of the indigenous diet well before the arrival of Europeans in the Americas. Huitlacoche grows as a fungal infection on corn kernels, transforming them into swollen, dark-colored masses. Despite its initially parasitic nature, indigenous communities recognized the culinary value of huitlacoche, incorporating it into various dishes. It was not only a food source but also held cultural significance, being considered a delicacy with unique flavors. In modern Mexican cuisine, huitlacoche remains highly regarded and is used in a variety of dishes such as quesadillas, soups, and sauces. Its earthy, mushroom-like taste and distinct appearance make it a sought-after ingredient that continues to contribute to the rich tapestry of Mexican gastronomy. . . . . . #wildfood #wildfoodlove #wildharvest #wildedibles #foraging #forage #foraged #forager #foragers #foragedfood #foragingforfood #foragebyfolk #forageandharvest #ediblemushrooms #mushies #ediblefungi #mushroompicking #mushroomforaging #mushroomhunting #mushroomhunter #mushroomseason #mushroomspotting #mushroomlove #theasianforager #gayforager #queerforager #gasianforager 27 #huitlacoche #cornsmut

π Erythronium albidum (White trout lily) π¨βπ³ Edible β οΈ, spring ephemeral, abundant, very short season If you're lucky, you can find a large colony of these beautiful spring ephemerals--sometimes covering an entire hillside in white flowers. These are not only pretty but also edible. But you must take precaution. Never eat more than a few leaves at a time. They can cause vomit or diarrhea.

Last year we foraged about 100 lbs of pears. It was quite a task to turn these beautiful, fragrant, sweet tree ripened pears into jam.

π Robinia pseudoacacia (false acacia, black locust, yellow locust) π¨βπ³ Edible (flowers only, the rest is toxic), abundant, very short season Last year was the first time I tried the black locust blossoms. Many of these trees grow wild in my area, sometimes in a row along roads and expressways. For years I just admired their beauty and fragrance. I treated these fragrant little white flowers like a vegetable--just like in Vietnam where people eat many different kinds of flowers in savory dishes. I did a quick stir fry with slices of pork belly, garlic, soy sauce, and honey. It came out pretty good--felt like eating pea shoots. . . . . . #ediblegarden #edible #edibleweeds #edibleplants #edibleflowers #ediblelandscaping #wildfood #wildfoodlove #workingwithnature #wildedibles #wildharvest #foraging #forage #foraged #forager #foragers #foragedfood #foragingforfood #forageandharvest #forageflowers #foragebyfolk #forageandharvest #theasianforager #gayforager #queerforager #gasianforager #growyourown 27 #springforaging #springforage #edibleyard
π Mertensia virginica (Virginia bluebells) π¨βπ³ Edible, exquisite garnishes, abundant, short season It's a paradise of spring ephemerals in Northern Illinois.
