Wild Edibles reference pics
 

trying out this Photobucket Album thingy
i had 47 pages, but somehow i lost 27 of them
so here's the 20 pages that didn't mess up
and i'll start redo-ing the lost ones

all pics are 800 x 600, will be adding comments to each pic, as soon as i learn how

any/all comments welcome that can help me improve this " Wild edibles " album


THESE PICTURES ARE A GENERAL REFERENCE FOR IDENTIFICATION PURPOSES ONLY

That's officially awesome...

as for comments, I'm not too sure on photobucket, but on Flickr, you put them on during the upload process. Somewhere along the way it says below the picture "Click to add comment" or something similar.

Killer lag, but good photos.

Re: Wild Edibles reference pics
 

Those are great pics - but this would be MUCH more valuable as a pdf doc that folks could download and/or print.

Very cool, CG. Bravo...

Did you know that Bearberry leaves, also known as Kinnikinick, sp. supposedly has narcotic properties somewhat similar to Opium when smoked?

Re: Wild Edibles reference pics
 

when i get up to 50 pics, i'll try a put them into a pdf and see how big it is
not sure if i can keep the orginal 800 x 600 size


no i didn't know that,
the Peterson guide has Bearberry leaves as a tobacco substitute
while another guide says that smoking these leaves can cause dizziness and even unconsciousness

is Miner's Lettuce in there somewhere ?

Reasonable for a written "Guide" to play it safe.

I'm not suggesting anyone run out and load a bowl or anything, but sometimes information like this can help save someone from pain or shock from injury.
I tried it and what I tried was not very potent, but there are likely huge variations in samples depending on the environment.

You may want to check these plants off against another reference before eating them. They picture water hemlock, for example. Don't eat that unless you want a free trip to the morgue.

There is a guy on youtube that does a series called "eat the weeds". Has helped me ID a few edibles. The video quality is not so hot, so have to cross-reference with google image search. Too bad Jerry isn't around to contribute to this thread.
