Hey /out/
I haven't seen a thread about keying out and picking wild plants for food or medicine. I'm in an herbalist program in the pnw and want to get even deeper inna woods since I started studying.

I'm already picking stuff like dandelion, plantain, burdock and nettle for staple vegetables.

Anyone else use plants while /out/?

This the plantain I'm talking about.
In the fall you can just strip the seeds right off, winnow them in your hand and make dope little crackers with a little water and a hot rock.

Candy Cap mushrooms, rosehips, agave flowers, some people are picking acorns but that's not worth my time.

My friend has been really sweet showing me his spots and has been high and low for baynuts but hasn't found anything yet. Bad season for them this yeae, but a total doll for trying.

I don't focus in medicinals but he has about 120 different gallon jars of native herbs here.

I like this idea. Let's work on a sticky for the next thread, if this one catches on.
Let's see, how about

Yeah I love nature food. I usually go for easy shit though like berries.
I've eaten so many currants of various sorts, elderberries, chokecherries, rose hips, and so on. Also those fir or pine or whatever fresh little needles those taste good too.

Bumping for interest

In my town we have dozens upon dozens of mulberry trees and around June I go around riding my bike eating tons of those berries. One of thee years I am going to take a few bags to try and make jam.

A woman who worked at a forest preserve showed me trout lilies, which are super common and the leaves can be eaten straight raw.

I also want to go hunting for morels and chicken of the woods whenever they're in season. I thought I found morels once but before I could go back to the same spot to look more closely the area was closed off by police (large abandoned prison where kids started a fire)

holy shit OP here. I did NOT know about this, thanks dude.

I have no idea how to do a sticky but I'm game man.

Here's one.

Yarrow - Achillea millefolium;
>Is named “warrior plant” for good reason. It stops bleeding both externally and internally. When you get a wound, it helps blood platelets stick together and form a scab. Herbalist Matthew Wood describes how yarrow sucks up blood from wounded tissue and draws it back into the vessels. I have seen the powdered dry herb or the fresh herb poultice stop bleeding from deep cuts and wounds almost immediately.

>This, combined with yarrow’s anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties, makes it a perfect first aid remedy.

>The root is an old time remedy for tooth aches and can be preserved in rum or brandy, then chewed as needed.

>Yarrow is specific against Shigella and other bacteria that cause infectious diarrhea.

Don't mix it up with poison hemlock and die.
I'll post more plants if there's positive feedback.
Glad to see people like the idea

Dont pick a apeacea with brown spots on stem and a non-fuzzy threaded stalk and make sure the umbra starts at a node not along the stem.

Not that anon, but modern people are not really the best at some things our ancestors needed to be perfect at. One of those things is identifying wild plants. There are people out there who literally do not or can not see the details of why two things are different. They see them as "white lacy flower" and go from there and end up harming themselves. I'm all for Darwinism, but the knowledge that there are deadly "lookalikes" out there should at least be told. How they research and go from there is their business unless they are making something for someone else.

"Poison hemlock" is actually a catch-all term for 8 different Apeacea species in 2 different genus that are deadly. None of which to be confused with the non-poisonous "hemlock" conifer trees [Tsuga gen.] That's the problem with common names. They are shit.

'Apeacea' is the "Family," while 'Conium' and 'Cicuta' are both two different, "Genus," containing poisonous plants in the 'Apeacea' family.

Dude thank you, I had no idea. The same thing happens all the time with artemisias, there's like ten species called mugwort.

>>1143981
Don't trust me alone man but yeah if it's got those brushy leaves you're probably looking at Yarrow.

Link? Links are the lifeblood of a sticky: lots of info in one post, listed by category. Y'all keep compiling data here, I'll build a sticky and post it when the thread gets close to bump limit so it's available for pasta. We'll modify as more info is made available.

Nice! Good to have your help man.
Here's like, my number one source.
Michael Moore, my definitive sensi for all things wild-craft medicinal.
http://www.swsbm.com/HOMEPAGE/HomePage.html

His website is a big assortment of various texts on herbalism, various plant keys and philosophies. sort of like, a sticky.

I like these two;
"principles and practice of constitutional physiology for herbalists."
>By the man himself, essential modern writing if you're into his effort in western energetic approaches.
http://www.swsbm.com/ManualsMM/HRBENRGT.pdf
and
>http://www.swsbm.com/Ephemera/HerbalManual.pdf
A nice classic text from the late 30's with a nice approachable format for medicinal reference.
