As the #winter seems to have been cancelled, I just want to send out a general warning to not trust online foraging and wilderness survival guides that use stock images to help identify plants, fungi and such. E.g. mislabeled photos of dandelion that show instead wild chicory or cat’s ear are very common and not really dangerous as all of those are perfectly edible when young despite being difficult to identify precisely - they all have tapered and serrated leaves growing in a rosette straight from the root, but only dandelion will form buds at ground level. Do wash them thoroughly before consumption, though. But, I've seen blogs and guides that show photos of deadly toxic mushrooms and identifying them as edible in text, or want to describe bear leek (wild garlic) but show instead photos of lily of the valley, leafy parts of autumn crocus or worse. And failing to distinguish between those then eating them can lead to organ failure and death! So, please, be careful when foraging. Pick leaves of plants or fungi individually, one by one only, and first learn about them and their lookalikes from experienced foragers. Even when you think you got it, don't hesitate to ring at their door and ask them to confirm your wicker basket contents for you, just to be on the safe side and never feel too confident or even complacent. I've been doing this since I was about 5, over a dozen years before I actually started eating any of it (children are advised to not eat ANY mushrooms because even if they're perfectly edible they are hard to digest for them and can lead to upset stomach and digestive problems), and I can still on occasion find discardable contents in my wicker basket because they either landed there by accident or there was poor light and couldn't see well in the wilderness and only noticed they look suspicious during secondary separation on my kitchen table under daylight (~6500K) light bulb. It is also advisable you separate suspect species already in your basket and place them individually in separate bags as some can be contact toxic or can stain other contents making them hard to later confirm identity of. Additionally, don't touch species you're not sure about and if you think you might have, don't eat anything that doesn't come in a wrapper (not even an apple or a satsuma!) with your bare hands before you washed them thoroughly with soap and hot water. There are things out there that can cause anything from a mild headache to temporary blindness through contact alone! And juices of some species of hellebores growing in the wild, when absorbed through the skin, can cause heart failure, so always pick those wearing gloves. And finally, as we're still close to the festive season, do check if the foraged goods you just ate are contraindicated for alcohol. Some mushrooms don't mix well with it and symptoms can be similar to food poisoning with some people.

Art Advent Calendar Day 7. In 2011 I made a silver oak leaf brooch that fastened much like a safety pin. #ArtAdventCalendar #Silversmith #Metalsmith #OakLeaf #Leafy #HandmadeJewelry #Fibula #SafetyPin #Brooch #SterlingSilver #KSkilesStudio
