You guys do mushroom and plant foraging/identifying? You ever find anything cool or rare? I found these Datura plants recently and dug them up. Anyone ever found one of those plants that eat insects?
>>2725583Yeah I see stuff in the nightshade family from time to time. Never found a pitcher plant though. Trilliums is probably the jackpot I've found a few of those before. Indigos too. This isn't particularly rare but one of my favorite to come across- Jack In The Pulpit
>>2725589Another one of my favorites- Swamp Hibiscus
>>2725591Wild Mayhaws
>>2725592Blackberries and Dewberries are strong this year. If the blackberries don't get rain though they'll dry up before they make. I was able to pick about a gallon of dewberries today and put them in the primary fermentation to start a wine though.
>>2725593Found some nice wild Mulberries this weekend but most are too high to get to
>>2725595Some kind of wild Blueberry. Deerberry I think.
>>2725596Wild Potato Vine
>>2725598Clump of Northern Spider Lily
>>2725599Lady Lupine
>>2725604Big persimmon
>>2725607Wild grapes
>>2725608Passionfruit
>>2725610Black Seed Spear Grass
>>2725612Farkleberry
>>2725614Rabbit Tobacco
>>2725616Wild Garlic/Onion I think
Wild bearded iris
>>2725618Atamasco Lily
>>2725621Tolmie's pussy ears
>>2725624Trillium
>>2725625Indian warrior's plume
>>2725625That's good stuff.
>>2725618Candyroot
>>2725618Narrow leaf paw paw
>>2725632I've heard paw paws were amazing tasting, but I've never lived close enough to anywhere that they grew, and they don't transport for shit(they say) Doesn't stop them from stocking rotting Mangosteens, but I've never seen them stock paw paws.
>>2725640I've got one in a planter that's getting about big enough to plant. The slim leaf pawpaws do make a fruit but not like the regular Pawpaw. The slim leaf Pawpaw is more of an upland shrub.
>>2725632Surely you don't mean Asimina sp. That looks nothing like a paw paw, neither flower nor leaf.
>>2725632>>2725989Nevermind apparently that paw paw looks quite different, how about that. Is the fruit still good?
You're in the panhandle? I'm in Mississippi.
Very cool anon thanks for sharing. Here is some heal all I saw last summer.
Here’s an American chestnut tree I found one time, pretty good size.
>>2726035Velvet top fungus, dyers polypore>>2726036Enoki?
>>2726041Any shots of the gills on these? My first guess is Hypholoma sp.>>2726043Armillaria
>>2726044>Enoki?I'm not sure.I snapped the pic while I was in a frenzy to find more hen of the woods,so I never got a closer look at them.
>>2725990Yeah it threw me off at first too. I thought it was some kind of oleander or something- it looks nothing like the regular Pawpaw, but I came across the slim leaf Pawpaw in a book calling it asimina longifolia (I think A. angustifolia would make more sense) and I'm 99% sure that's what it is. And no the fruit is small and almost tasteless. All in all the plant reminds me alot of gopher apple (similar size grows in the same places etc.).
>>2726045Apioperdon, pear shaped puffball
>>2726047>Any shots of the gills on these?No,sadly.I'm working on being more thorough.I'm going to map my finds with gps,too.
These guys were snacking on the fungus gnats.
>>2726054Sparassis, cauliflour mushroom>>2726056Tricholomopsis rutilans
>>2726060She's a witch!! She turned me into a newt! A newt sir?Well, I got better...
>>2726061>Tricholomopsis rutilansYou sure?
>>2726063Not 100% about 80% The bright yellow fades with age, but that nectarine skin on the cap is pretty distinct
>>2726065>nectarine skinLol,that's why I took that picture.They looked delicious.
This sprung up in my backyard,even though it's supposedly a rare swampland plant.Green Dragon,iirc.
>>2726066Did you happen to see if this one was gilled or polypore? I want to say it's one of the painted Suillus species.
Found some morrel shroomers under my half dead apple tree the other day. Cooked half for me and my grannie and planted the other half. Shit my brains out for a whole day so idk if mushrooms are actually good for people
>>2726083Holy shit you're retarded
>>2725632Where do you live? I have never heard of any of these plants in my life. They look cool, nice photos.
>>2726134Deep south east. I didn't post the trillium, bearded iris, and Indian plume earlier though I think they are western species. Alot of the ones I posted are sort of common species just some of my favorite. One of my favorites is the rabbit tobacco which I think has a widespread range you should keep an eye out for it.
>>2726134The following are from a second anon(me) in the mountains of Northern California(very southern tip of the Cascades)>>2725621>>2725624>>2725625>>2725626
When I go mushroom foraging, my favorite thing to find besides mushrooms is Ghost Pipe. It's so strange and improbable. I made a tincture out of some; it doesn't do very much, but it has a unique taste so I use it as a drink mixer now.
>>2726430Tons of them grow on my property,and until recently,I assumed they were a fungus.Definitely an interesting plant.
Check it out I found a castor oil plant. It's the one that contains ricin.
Found some hemlock as well, will I become smart like socrates if I eat it?
>>2726041brick cap / Hypholoma lateritium>>2726066looks like Suillus spraguei / west coast synonym so long as it's got yellow poresthe brick caps are A+ edible and easily tissue cultured/cultivated on logs/sawdustI've eaten alot of everything in the genus Suillus, butterball (S. weaverae) and chicken fat boletes (S. americana) are all I really bother with anymore - entire genus is mycorrhizal with pines, damn near the entire genus can be found beneath Eastern white pine (pinus strobus) in the northeast
>>2726591>Hypholoma lateritium>Suillus spraguei Thank you, I will mark this in my notes,and hopefully they return this year,so I can verify.Very helpful.
>>2725583I saw a pitcher plant recently. It was either in a creek or an overgrown swampy area next to a river.
I see Muscaria Aminitas all the time in the national park.
>>2729295Which national park, silly willy?
