Goat yogurt is the best yogurt nostr:note1k3w7kutpx4hh8cut3m68m3ccn4s8uefp66aredca6vgkm95xdd9sp8kpll

I’ve never heard of the genus, I’ll look into that. I want to travel to southeastern China so bad, I know they have so much stuff that can probably grow here that I don’t know about!

I actually haven’t eaten many tree leaves though, really only the elm. Even then I used them like bay leaves.

I have heard that the paper mulberry, & basswood (linden) have decent edible leaves. I have eaten devils walking stick shoots (aralia spinosa), those are really good with asparagus

Lolz, I think mushrooms naturally wanna be paired with tree leaves. Dunno how I’ve never thought of that.

Maybe me eating a salted version of this exact mushroom everyday the last few days, then finding another one that is of the same mycelium (on the same tree) is making it speak to me ???

Winged elm (ulmus alata), it adds that leafy earthiness. Kinda hard to explain - it tastes much like the leaf smells, your breath is forest air

I do a lot of research before eating a wild mushroom for the first time, usually 2-3 hours. When I’m confident, I only eat a small amount & wait at least a day to be sure I don’t have a weird allergy

I’ve also taken a class in my local area on easy edible mushrooms, but more importantly, the poisonous ones. There are only a few that will kill you (in my area) and I know them all by heart. Quite a few can make you sick, those are more numerous than deadly mushrooms

I don’t know I’ve only ever thrown them in broths. I’ve got a gut feeling they’d be good with this. Rosemary would also work I think

I’ve found 3 Berkeley’s Polypore mushrooms this year. The last one I found I cooked & canned it into a saltwater brine w/ thyme. I thought it was very good, but the wife didn’t like it.

I think I’ll do another salt brine, maybe I’ll add elm leaves to this batch

Actually I’m still on YouTube & Spotify, not sure if that counts

I thought I was reading a modest book here…

Listened to that yesterday, going to look through those websites they mentioned this weekend

Korbinian is better tho, imo
