I got to see the Nepal Gray Langur (Semnopithecus schistaceus) in Bhutan while in a bus on the highway!!! it was amazing to see them play, snuggle, and live their funny little lives. Foraging may be my game, but I will always love and appreciate the animals that make up our ecosystems too!

Met an old friend on a new (to me) continent! Suillus spraguei (formerly known as Suillus pictus) is a fantastic edible if you know what you’re doing with it. I’ve been having a blast working with over the past week, and in that time I’ve made plenty of new fungal acquaintances, as well as some sentimental old friends and their close relatives.

Stumped on your polypores? Not to worry. Here’s how to tell the difference between hen of the woods (Grifola frondosa), chicken of the woods (Laetiporus spp), and the oft-misidentified black-staining polypore (Meripilus sumstinei) so you can forage with more confidence! And buy my book, which goes through SO MANY NUANCES that i can’t fit into a short format!

this is the only i’ve ever done for the Internet, so it’s particularly fitting that it’s an educational one! don’t get got by when you’re foraging!
