Aaaahhh that looks sooooooo goooooooooood! I love mushrooms but I think there's one type that we will collect from the wild (and then only if we're dead certain it's the right one) and the rest we coward out and either buy the mushrooms themselves or mushroom kits from shops XD
The are soooooo gooood! 😀 Nom, nom, nom...
I love mushroom foraging, or any type of food foraging actually. It's amazing what I can find around my neighbourhood. It's crazy, most people don't even see it even if it is right under their nose. They've been brainwashed that only food from the supermarket is "safe." At least what I gather has no chemicals or GMOs, and... is free. 😀
We raid a lot of fruit trees and decorative hedges that are actually herbs in our area XD Also grow fruit trees along our front fence so other people can do likewise :)
Do you get funny looks when you're grabbing what other people think are decorative shrubs? :D
Mostly cross looks and admonishments when it's from the botanical gardens around the corner. 😀
Well if they don't want people to forage they shouldn't put food plants there ;D
Although if they just embrace the food plants then it could be a community garden as well as a botanic garden and be even better!
There are a number of community gardens around the neighbourhood. The botanical garden is attached to the University, so the plants are part of their research. No GMOs as far as I am aware. The garden has been a great resource for (other than knocking off food) learning about the local herbs and edible plants. When I go out into the fields or forests, there is an incredible amount of food and herbs that I can identify now. But, most people just walk past it, for the aforementioned reasons.
I won't be starving when the apocalypse strikes. 😀
Oh wow that area sounds fantastic, yep you're set :D
