A relatively recent birthday tradition is foraging for birthday horseradish. We revisited the same site as last year, to find that the plant had grown even bigger! We came prepared with a legit shovel this time, and sliced a big nob of root (instead of digging a whole taproot).
We got about 500g of usable root; and a few nubs to experiment with planting (at least, overwintering in a pot indoors).
I made a horseradish cranberry sauce (added orange juice + zest)! It goes well with pork roast.
The rest made a decent-sized jar of prepared horseradish (grated root + salt + vinegar) and I froze the rest (grated root + salt). We’ll see how both these preservation methods work.
The little end-bits leftover from grating, I threw into pickle jars. Those pickles pack a wallop!

It's autumn olive season on the east coast, so I figured I'd share one of my favorite pages from my fruit foraging zine! You can do your local ecosystem a solid this fall by eating this invasive fruit & helping curb its spread.
Read the whole zine here! https://ko-fi.com/s/bd38ecf5e4

Amanita phalloides, commonly known as the death cap. It is one of the most poisonous of all known mushrooms.
Even very small fragments can be lethal (about 0.1 milligrams of fresh weight for every kilogram of weight of the person who ingests it), so about 7 mg for a 70 kg adult man; furthermore, the mushroom retains all its poisonous properties even after cooking, drying and freezing.
Found it today, 15 October 2023.
