A Forager’s Guide"},"content":{"rendered":"

Let me tell you about the time I went mushroom hunting in the woods and found some pretty honey mushrooms to take home and try feeding to my chickens.<\/p>\n

I love taking my girls Mabel and Gertrude out into nature to teach them about edible wild plants.<\/p>\n

Well, on this particular forage, we came across a fallen oak tree just covered in clusters of beautiful golden honey mushrooms.<\/p>\n

My daughter Lily’s eyes lit up when she spotted them. “Wow, what a haul! Chicken treats!” she exclaimed. I had to chuckle at her enthusiasm.<\/p>\n
