Oyster mushrooms located!! We had a good rain a couple days ago and it’s been the perfect mushroom weather so I was pretty hopeful going out today and it didn’t disappoint.

SwampMan has zero interest in mushrooms no matter how many times I tell him they are exciting and tasty. He’d rather have squirrels to chase

There were quite a few other clumps growing as well that I might come back for. I think I’m gonna make some ramen with the ones I took.

Winter Foraging ❄️🍄

Hello darlings 🥰

As winter wraps us in its chilly embrace, nature still offers a bounty of forageables that can enrich our culinary, medicinal, and magical practices. December foraging brings its own unique gifts. Here's a guide to what you can find and how to use them. ❄️🌿

December Foraging Treasures:

Holly Berries: Holly is a symbol of protection and good luck. Its berries, while not edible, can be used in Yule decorations and winter solstice rituals for protection and good fortune.

Rose Hips: These are the fruit of the rose plant and are rich in vitamin C. They can be used to make syrups, teas, and jams, and in magic, they are used for love, healing, and attracting good energy.

Pine Needles: Rich in vitamins A and C, pine needles can be used to make a refreshing tea. In magic, pine is associated with cleansing, protection, and prosperity.

Juniper Berries: Known for their distinctive flavor, they're used in culinary dishes, especially in marinades. Magically, juniper berries are used for protection and purification.

Ivy: Common ivy can be used in wreaths and decorations. In magic, it symbolizes fidelity and eternal life. Note: Ivy is not edible and should be handled with care.

Mushrooms: While some mushrooms are edible and have medicinal properties, extreme caution must be taken as many are poisonous. Only forage mushrooms if you are very experienced or with a professional guide.

Please remember to always forage responsibly and sustainably. Only take what you need, and be sure to leave plenty behind for wildlife and future growth.

I’ve been out foraging with a borrowed camera, so here’s some edible/medicinal plants you can forage for even in December (if you’re not snowed in).

Clover flowers, they’re edible and you can put them into meals and soups, but never eat a lot at once! They have a lot of estrogen so they can mess with your hormonal levels if you take a lot.

Daisies, they’re medicinal! You can eat them and make tea with them. You can eat both the flowers and the leaves.

This is how Yarrow looks in the winter; in the summer it grows tall with clusters of little white flowers, in the winter it’s very ground-level, but the leaves look just the same. It’s still edible and medicinal even when it’s just leaves, and you can add it to salads and soups.

Dead nettle, it’s good for immune system boost! It’s edible and can be made into teas, it doesn’t sting unlike the stinging nettle, and it grows pretty purple flowers. (I’ve never tried to eat it because the scent is so strong I’m lowkey scared of it)

Rosehips, they’re filled with vitamin C and good to make jam and tea out of. Also a great immune system boost.

Plantain, it has a nice nutty flavour to it, and it’s recommended as a plant to make your blood stronger. It’s also a medicinal plant that helps wound healing!

Dandelion greens are still up even when they’re not flowering! They’re so high in vitamin C, they could get you nourished thru the winter even they’re all you eat. They’re a bit acidic but if you add them to a potato or bean salad they hit just right.

Stinging nettle is still around, it will get smaller after the frost hits, but it’s still a great source of calcium, iron, energy, overall one of the best plants you could possibly add into your diet. You can collect the seeds too and consume them as an addition to dishes!

Chickweed, also a great source of minerals and vitamins! And it tastes amazing, you can use it instead of lettuce and I’d say it tastes even sweeter. Few sources have said that if you have too much of it, it can make your tummy ache, but I have disregarded this and consumed this plant in big quantities and remained unharmed.

Even if you can take the foraged plants only in small quantities, because they’re fairly small and it would take a long time to gather a lot, they’re so much richer in vitamins and minerals than the plants we usually eat, they can serve as a supplemental source of nutrition, and make sure you’re properly nourished and healthy thru the winter.

Winter may be almost over in the northern hemisphere, but in many places it's going to be a bit before spring foraging can begin in earnest. See what edible plants and mushrooms you may be able to find right now in my chapbook Winter Foraging: Forty (Or So) Wild Foods to Look For--just $6 for the paperback and $3 for the ebook!

Went out to the mound hike again when the ice receded. SO.

Wild rose hips are very strong but very cloying. Best as an addition in a tea, jam, or pastry, and not eaten by themselves. Overpowering floral flavor.

There's onion grass, pushing up bravely through leaf litter at the first sign of a thaw. It is EVERYWHERE. It is also very strong, and a bit bitter, but it's good stuff.

Now, when leaves are only just starting to peek out from their hiding places, is a wonderful time to go looking for the canes of berry brambles. You know them by their arch and distinctive thorn shape; the ones by me are a reddish color with a blue bloom on them after frost, so they look like a tangle of blue-purple arches. If you know where one is and then observe its winter look, suddenly you can see them everywhere. Now, with the growing layer thin and leafless, it becomes obvious that... oh. Oh there are a LOT of them.

Next up: my foraging year in review.

I think my goal this winter is to find enoki in my area, not that I need more mushrooms. I guess rosehips could be good if I can find decent ones, or like if the ground isn't too hard I could dig roots?

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!
