Did you know that oyster mushrooms are carnivorous?
They poison small worms called nematodes to ingest their insides to make nitrogen.
Oysters grow year round but prefer the colder months. You'll see them on deciduous trees such as beech.

Look at this for a quick lunchtime forage!

I'll go back for more apples, blackberries and pears to dehydrate for the winter. The greengages are lush and never make it home ☺️

The frondy yarrow will be made into a tincture which is great for digestion, insomnia and fevers amongst other things.

Finally the nettle seeds I will toast and store. They go great on top of porridge or yoghurt. Tiny seeds packed full of vitamins and minerals 🌱
