Honeysuckle will bloom sporadically during summer depending on rain. Just enough to make one batch of honeysuckle syrup. #edible #foraging #wildfood #wildplants #wildfoodlove

Smooth sumac is probably my favorite summer wild edible. Get it while you can! #edible #foraging #wildfood #wildplants

@reneredzepinoma got me thinking about young green pine cones like this one from Virginia Pine tree. One of the best things about using wild edibles is the creativity it unlocks in your mind. #foraging #edible #wildplants

Kudzu is already starting to bloom! I love the floral, grapey fragrance. Remember it’s all about capturing that unmistakeable aroma by infusing the blooms into liquids. #edible #foraging #wildfood #wildplants

Evidently, it’s been dry down in the hollow here in central east Alabama. Nothing, but little chanterelle pins. #edible #foraging #wildmushrooms #mushrooms

This is a hexastylis, not wild ginger. Years ago, while working on my book I did a ton of research on this plant. I thought it was a type of wild ginger and was edible. After doing lots of research I could not find any credible evidence that it was edible and safe to eat. I know some people use it, but I cannot recommend eating it. #foraging #wildplants

This is winged sumac, rhus copallinum, in flower. It’s an edible sumac that ripens after smooth sumac. #foraging #edible #wildplants
