INKINESS 😉

Meet Tippler’s Bane - the common ink cap (Coprinopsis atramentaria)!

Some identifying clues:
• Grey to grey-brown caps, egg-shaped when young and becoming bell-shaped.
• Fine grooves running down the cap.
• White, hollow stems.
• Crowded gills that change from white to grey, then black, eventually dissolving into “ink.”
• Often grows in clusters near buried or decaying wood.

Alcohol warning!
It contains coprine, which interferes with the body’s ability to break down alcohol. Combining the two can cause flushing, nausea, vomiting, dizziness and heart palpitations.

Avoid alcohol for at least 3 days before and 3 days after eating these mushrooms - not just during the meal!

Shrimp of the woods!🍤

Awesome day!

These Entoloma abortivum parasitizes honey mushrooms, creating chunky white “shrimp” shapes.
This is the form we loveee using in our culinary dishes - another wild cool forest find!

Steak of the Woods! 🍄
Ischnoderma resinosum ( Polypore mushroom )

A cousin of Chicken of the Woods and Hen of the Woods, this delicious edible mushroom has a very short window when it’s at its best.

Only the young, tender outer margins are typically used as once it matures, it becomes quite tough.

Also known as “Salisbury Steak of the Woods” or “Steak of the woods” for its rich, meaty texture and flavour

One of those forest finds you don’t want to miss when the timing is right.🍄

Dinner that night = forest-to-table magic!

Creamy coconut Beef of the Woods soup with fresh rosemary and marigolds straight from the garden. Cozy, wild, and so good.

🍄A magical day of foraging with our beautiful soul fam in the Emerald Forest.

Surrounded by nature’s treasures and all the incredible mushrooms the forest gifted us, we slowed down, laid upon the soft moss carpets, grounded ourselves and simply connected.

A much needed break to rest in the FoRest - full hearts, happy souls and deep gratitude for this beautiful, heart-centred day.

🍄‍🟫An incredible day wandering through the woods and finding oyster mushrooms, golden chanterelles, boletes, and even chicken of the woods!

There’s something so magical about foraging… the adventure, the abundance, and the connection to the land.

And the best part? Coming home and turning our forest finds into a family affair - a cleaning and preparation session with my very beautiful daughter, Amelie Amelie Izabella

A beautiful weekend spent wandering the forest, identifying mushrooms, medicinal plants, and healing trees with an amazing group of nature lovers. 🍄🌿

Thank you to everyone who joined us Polish at Heart 💙 - we loved sharing the magic of the forest with you and can’t wait for our next foraging adventure together! 🌲✨

Out for an evening forage, we stumbled across clusters of these mushrooms growing along a gravel road.

After doing some research, we’re wondering if they might be “fried chicken mushrooms,” but we’re not 100% certain yet. Funny name - one I won’t forget 🍗🍄

We’ve brought them home to take a spore print, which should help!

What do you think? Have you come across these before? 🍄

Cleavers (also known as Catchweed) 🌿

While our foraging we came across this humble wild plant - one of nature’s most beloved lymphatic herbs. Traditionally used to support lymphatic flow.

Cleavers help encourage the body’s natural detoxification processes and promote healthy fluid movement.

One of the simplest ways to enjoy it is as a cold infusion: place fresh Cleavers in a jar of cold water, let it steep overnight, and enjoy the refreshing herbal infusion the next day.

Wild, gentle, and abundant - sometimes the most powerful plants are growing right beneath our feet.

Have you worked with Cleavers before? Let us know below.

It’s an oyster kind of day 🍄

After days of rain, the forest gifted us an abundance of beautiful oyster mushrooms.

Some were growing so high up the trees that G had to reach with a long branch to coax them down! (Reminded me of my younger days in the Trinidad 🇹🇹 picking mangoes)

For dinner - we turned our harvest into a beautiful grilled oyster mushroom dish, finished with fresh violets from the garden and spruce tips we gathered a couple of weeks ago, and paired it with our homemade dandelion root kombucha.

Benefits of today’s wild ingredients:

🍄 Oyster Mushrooms
• Rich in antioxidants

🌲 Spruce Tips
