Yesterday I scored a half bucket of some local edible mushrooms which I can ID by certain characteristics, but not by name. They pop up in different spots each year, so it's luck if I happen to spot a group early enough to harvest them.

I fried them up in butter and froze them in ~1/2 cup measures times 5.

I have lately been getting pears, apples, grapes and now acorns. And a surprise: peaches!

I have not posted in a long time and I want it to be known that i still forage avidly. Apples have been the big harvest lately. There is a tree by the hospital in my hometown that is laden with about 300 ( at least) lbs of perfect yellow apples that are the sweetest best apple i have ever tasted. Nobody else uses them, which i find astounding. More for me, i guess. Sorry no pics, ill get some soon.

Today i picked apples. They were all frozen but still good. There are still a lot more left on that tree, good for freezing or cooking.
