Our woods
Today Ron took Sunny and Sheba to the groomer, so I had several hours to myself. I decided to check out the woods to see what discoveries awaited me.
Some of these photos were taken in the woods. Some were in the transition area between the woods and our yard. And some of them are from our yard…. which has plenty of weeds growing in the lawn! I like it that way! 🙂
Just beautiful! I think it’s a moss of some kind.
Little brown mushrooms.
More lbms (little brown mushrooms)
Little white mushrooms. Not edible.
Berries the birds missed
Greenbrier thorns. Not fun to walk through!
Small greenbrier
Lichen
Moss on fallen log
A russula, I think
A periwinkle — perennial vinca. One lone bloom was all I found.
Bracken. Last years dead leaves show where edible fiddleheads will come up in spring
Tender, tasty chickweed
Two more edibles –field garlic and henbit
Wild strawberry leaves make a nutritious tea
Edible suillus. Before cooking, peel off the slimy cuticle to avoid digestive upset. The white flesh is a decent edible.
The pore surface of the suillus
Just a pretty picture
