Fall Foraging in the Colorado High Country

September 26, 2010 Erica M. Davis Leave a Comment

We had a great hike on Pennsylvania Mountain near our house in the Colorado high country yesterday afternoon. My intention was just to go for a short jaunt because we both have non-wild-edible-plants-related work to get done. So we headed up to one of our usual spots—an old … [Read more...]

Jellies and Jams, My Currant Obsession

September 15, 2010 Erica M. Davis 5 Comments

Juicy black currants ripe for the picking.

Holy Puffballs, Batman!

Beaver pond at 12,000 feet, home of our puffball discovery.

All this rain is making the mushrooms come out—a connection I never made before since I’m pretty much a beginner with edible fungi. So, when Gregg and I took a long, off trail hike above our house to an isolated beaver pond at 12,000 feet, crossing an above tree-line meadow to … [Read more...]
