I'm taking a cruise today through Lake Jacomo's park in Missouri (near KC), namely for these squauqs I found the last time I rode through here. A frost hit this weekend, so I decided to harvest, even though they're unripe.

Any uses for them, especially the 1 that looks frost-bitten?

Confit de rosehip - like a mushy sundried tomato!

Denmark is chuck full of wild roses in the summer. People usually make jam or "dessert soup" of the fruits, but I wanted to take it in a more savory direction.

Credit to Danish creator Sankesnilde for the recipe. It's pretty simple. You de-seed the rosehip (best done in a bowl of a water), then boil them slowly over low heat covered completely in oil with a few cloves of garlic, salt, pepper and fresh herbs - I used rosemary. It should be simmering until they're tender, five ish minutes.

Flavor profile is not as sour and tangy as tomatoes, but the overall feel is pretty similar. Good in sandwiches and on bread. They can theoretically last a year ish stored in jars, but don't hold me up on this because I'll eat through them in days.

Mushroom identification

There are a ton of these mushrooms. In my yard, after some preliminary identification, I think their Meadow mushrooms. I'm kind of new to foraging, so I just wanted to double-check with a community that probably knows more before harvesting more.

ID Request (country/state in post) American wild lettuce?

Thumbnail

Is this lactuca canadensis? I had a bunch of greens pop in my backyard this week in Southern California after a couple days of rain. I see this plant every year in the spring, and have been wondering for a while now if it is in fact wild lettuce. We always get a lot of dandelion, sow thistle, and little mallow (cheeseweed) as well. I was thinking of transplanting a few sprouts into a garden bed - I've already done so with some of the mallow (the leaves are very nice and mild, I use it like spinach).

Drying and storing acorns

1 Upvotes

I’m currently trying to dry out some acorns to make a garland. I decided to go big (instead of going home) and I’ve collected a bunch of massive bur oak acorns. People on the internet say baking your acorns are 200 F for two hours will dry them out enough but bur oaks are way bigger than average. I stepped on one after six or seven hours in the oven and the inside was definitely still damp. Does anyone know or have a way to guess how long this might take? I’m afraid of not going long enough and then ruining all my hard work. Even the regular size acorns that I let go for three hours are soft enough that I can make an indentation with my thumb nail. It’s a pretty small scratch but still. I also didn’t bother float testing because these are for decor only but I’ve noticed some acorns which seemed fine going in are cracked after drying. I assume that means they won’t store well so I’ve been tossing them but it’s turned out to be quiet a few acorns being lost 😭

On a slightly unrelated note picking these has been so much fun I might actually try to do some other kinds of foraging!

Found these outside on my apartment’s front lawn, in an open space at night (One of the Midwest states). Pretty sure the general managers would have them removed for “aesthetic damage” instead of eating them. I looked up lookalikes, and whether or not they were dangerous to touch. According to what I found, lookalike are either smaller with different shaped caps, or more white or more orange/amber. These have true gills that go down the stalks too, which was mentioned as a feature. I was worried at first and didn’t touch them for a while because I didn’t immediately see that they were growing out of dead wood matter. Could someone tell me of these are actually edible? I cut off the bottoms and stored them in the fridge in a paper bag

Black walnuts

So i let them sit for around 2 weeks then bagged them up. They are in a unheated garage. It'd been almost 4 weeks now, tried one and it tastes like lighter fluid. Well not exactly like lighter fluid, but definitely like that. Should I have left them on the rack drying out. I mean I didn't use any all black hulled ones, cleaned the crap out of them. Still they are not edible. Am I doing something wrong ?
