Nature

A place to discussion nature on Farcaster

My favourite pastime in Ukraine is mushroom hunting. I’m still learning which ones are safe vs poisonous, but I’m enjoying the experience. I’ll be back in the Carpathians this summer.

If you pass through San Francisco, we can aim to get out and forage: mushrooms and seaweed.

These are my principles. If you don't like them, well, I have others

Let’s do it! I’ll take you up on this when I come to SF!

I’m not able to identify each species yet but I’m learning…

Have to found Morels?

I believe yesterday, or the day before yesterday was national morel day.

I am an avid mushroom forager. We as westerners are mycophobic in general, (easier to teach kids they’re all bad.)

In reality what we can find falls into buckets of 20% edible, 10% delicious, 40% meh, 29.99% cause gastro distress (nausea, rapid departure,) and 0.01% deadly. 

The deadly ones are rare, obvious, and don’t look particularly appealing. There are tricks to spot them e.g. Google mushroom “skirt.”

Russula for example is really acrid, like a spicy bitter radish potato. But Babushkas can show you how to soak and brine them to make them taste great.
