Went for an evening walk with Adam and found a tonne of giant mushrooms that look very edible. Our Ukrainian guest will have a look at them tomorrow. She knows about mushrooms (and I always wanted to learn, so that's exciting!)

Today's shelf highlight is brought to you by the fact that I accidentally ate mock strawberries that my partner and I #foraged in the lot next to my apartment. And while they're non toxic, I think I need to get back to basics. As in, focus on food others find for a while. I struggle enough in the kitchen. #moosewoodcookbook to my rescue.

I used tea processing techniques on the same local "weed".
The "white" was subtle. Scent: You're young, lounging on a cotton picnic blanket in a verdant field. A creek burbles nearby. Taste: You've got a good book in hand and a stalk of sweetgrass in your water.
The "black" was less so. Scent: You're resting in a hay loft after stacking green pine logs. A new friend eats a salad beside you. Taste: You start necking.

Assortment of some loose #incense blend glamour shots. I've shared most, if not all of these on my Instagram at the time of their creation, but I realised I never made a moodboard for them, which is a shame because I love moodboards.
From top to bottom and left to right we have: a #devotional blend for Murmur, a #deathwork blend made specifically to honour and guide to peace a queer elder after she tragically passed, an #offering for Beleth and lastly a #necromancy blend, with my #pendulum adding in that extra deathy vibe.
If anyone's interested at the specifics of the herbs, I'm happy to share! Every #herb and #resin I use is either #homegrown or #foraged.

#Foraged #wild #mushrooms from the forest 🥰 #OysterMushrooms & #chanterelles are abundant on #VancouverIsland - never #harvest more than you need to feed your family 🙌 Never eat any wild mushrooms unless you can identify it 100% & know it's safely edible.

Big scoop of dandy chai. There's a pot of this brewing on the wood burner most days. Dandelion roots, great digestive/liver tonic, mineral rich and much tastier than most folk expect. I mix 1:4 roasted root to dried for a rich coffee flavour. Its toasty, earthy and sweet. Added chai spices, including some #foraged common hogweed seeds and homegrown fennel. Festive aromas. #foragedtonics #wildbrew #eatweeds #wildspices #dandelion #wildroots #thepeoplesmedicine

A couple of #foraged shrooms from earlier in the year for #FungiFriday, both 100-150mm diameter.
The one on the right is a very young example of the Orange Birch Bolete, before the "grey legs" had a chance to develop. (I know this one well, and eat it dried all year)
The other I THINK is L. cyanobasileucum (good eating) rather than the Brown Birch Bolete (rather tasteless). Any thoughts on this ID? Alternative suggestions?
I also made a door swag out of #foraged foliage, today. Probably should have been doing college work. For probably, read definitely.

A mostly #foraged dinner tonight. Potato and mushroom pie with bush tomatoes and pink peppercorns. The pastry was bought as I wasn't feeling up to making my own.
The start of the slippery jack's (Suillus luteus) wildly underated in my opion they make one of the best stock powders when dried #forager #foraged #foragedfood #mushroomkingdom #freefood #fungi
