What a magical time to walk in the woods! The leaves 🍁 are changing on the trees. Finally with all the rain and cooler temps the whole fungi kingdom has come alive 🍄These pics were taken on a recent walk with a friend. I’m so excited to be hosting a forage walk tomorrow. Look for details in my profile. Pictured here are chicken of the woods (laetiporous cincinnatus) aborted and non aborted entolomas, ink caps, Virginia creeper, and maitake 😀 #maitake #chickenofthewoods #abortedentoloma #inkcaps #wildmushrooms #mycelium #mycelialnetwork #connection #natureconnection #wildforaging #wildforaged #medicinalmushrooms #foragewalkct #foragect #gaiacentrichealing #gaiacentricliving #chiforhealing (at Middletown, Connecticut) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjeaTo4DHy1/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

After all of this rain and the cool temps the hen of the woods will be popping up everywhere! There are only a few spots left for this weekend’s forage walk.

Jewelweed sprouting her orange flowers. Did you know that jewelweed is a great poison ivy remedy? If rubbed on the affected area it can dissolve the urishiol oil that poison ivy has that causes the dermatitis. The flowers are a nice addition to a salad with spicy taste like nasturtiums. We have a lot of poison ivy in our yard but also a lot of jewelweed! Nature always has an answer for our healing! Also pictured are staghorn sumac berries that make a great chilled beverage and mugwort that has many medicinal benefits. Join me this Sunday at 10 am for a forage walk to learn more about wild plant medicine and maybe some mushrooms too!
