Ayyyyyyyy!!! Now THAT is what you call a GREAT DAY outdoors! ;)

Picked a bunch of fiddleheads on Mothers Day.
Yummy, BUT ended up with one of the WORST cases of poison ivy EVER. :(

Haven't found any morels this year yet, but I'm after my second tom in a few hours so maybe I'll get lucky!

Milkweed shoots are up and it won't be long before green sumac branches are ready and oyster mushrooms are on... And then there's swamp corn. Still haven't had a chance to go and dig some wild leeks. Wild leek and feta pie!!! I'm drooling...

Many members would find it helpful as referenced by how many posts here include wild foods. Maybe a Mod could chime in with some stats but I bet there's a large % of our board members that would see added value to a wild edibles section. I do however realize the legal implications but nothing a quick waver won't fix.

Anyone else have an opinion?

I find mine mostly in the sandy soil. Mostly around elm and ash trees, especially if there are a few fallen over and rotting. I got to my honey hole too late this year after some other family members and pickings were slim. Got one feed though and one good feed of fiddle heads earlier on. Its a shame some people don't know this stuff is growing out there free for the picking.

X3 for me! it would be great to have a foraging section on here. I would love to learn more about the edible plants in Ontario.
