Backyard Foraging by Ellen Zachos

Sorry about the poor quality. Never done this before.

I recommend this book. I’ve found a few plants in it that I’ve encountered many times in my life but never knew they were a food source for humans. I would have been a lot less hungry in my life if I did.

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.

Darkness and coolness bring forth mushrooms of all types and kinds.

Autumn is a bonanza for foraging, but be careful. Many, but not all, are edible. 

Some, like the red-looking Russula will causse illness if not properly prepared.  

Best to stay far away; there are so many other safer choices.
