    We found a bush like that on Mount Monadnock yesterday. Kids stayed for 15 minutes picking and eating….

    There's at least a 1/2 acre of them, not easy walking. In the wild there's no pretty rows. My wife had a too close for comfort encounter with a bear in there about 4 years ago, now she drags me along. :salute:

    I would have picked some. My cultivated ones didn't do so good this Spring setting berries and the few I did get just disappeared overnight.
    Rather coincidentally the deer have been fertilizing them for me. Watch your step.

    Great score.
    I was cutting at a friends last week and he had a bunch of raspberry's there . picked a bunch of them.

    I haven't picked blueberry's since I was a kid and we had a lot of them at our cottage on Cape Cod.

    Hoard them while you can !

    Nothing like a day of cutting and a fresh natural snack.

    I found these in the middle of the "road" to the camp this morning on the way back to the house. 20210807_092914.jpg
    I think they are "black trumpets" or something like that. I've had them before just cooked in a skillet with butter and garlic along with some other 'shrooms and they were tasty. I'd like to be more confident about mushrooming. I'm not sure what it is about foraging, but stumbling across food sure makes it taste good. 20210807_110544.jpg
