What are the herbs, greens, herbs, fruits, berries, roots, and mushrooms in season as summer draws to a close? Proceeding a foraging tour of the Appalachian Trail, I'll bring in dozens of seasonal edibles to display and discuss. You'll see and taste common late summer species such as wood sorrel, sheep sorrel, Asiatic dayflower, burdock, elderberries, mullein, jewelweed, garlic mustard seeds, black birch, sassafras, and chicken mushrooms.

 The flesh looks like chicken and it tastes like chicken. Often the mushroom grows on the far side of a tree, stump, or log where you can't see it because it IS chicken! |
