Tradition says something bad (in my opinion) will happen six weeks from the blooming of goldenrod - the first frost. I’ve marked it down as occurring here on Nov. 23rd. 🌬️

Green vomiters live up to their name if you cook them like other edible mushrooms but Tim at Ironwood Foraging Co. figured out a simple process to make them edible and delicious! Look below for details.

Each year at this school the students read a book to help better connect them to nature and afterwards they bring me in to discuss the book with the students. This year they read “Hatchet”, a fantastic story of a modern city boy lost alone in the Canadian wilderness with nothing but his clothes and a hatchet gifted to him by his father. One of the critical steps in survival was noticing the hatchet created sparks when it struck certain rocks. From this realization he eventual created fire. My purpose today is to talk about firemaking, from the earliest known method of striking sparks of iron pyrite with quartz into tinder mushrooms up to hand and bow drills. What’s your favorite way to make fire? Let me know in the comments. Also drop a note if you want me to come to your school!

Misidentification of plants and mushrooms is rampant on social media and 99% of the time by people who start their post with “AI says it’s…” 🙄 This delicious, wild fruit is popping up across the South now that it’s October. If you know what it really is, post its name in the comments.
