Delicious Cooking and Healing with Wild Edible Plants and Mushrooms by Bobcat Saunders--

GOING WILDER IN THE KITCHEN!

Home// Learning to Connect with Nature // Going Wilder in the Kitchen // Healing with Nature// References and Links // The Plants// Meet your Host // Site Map // Schedule

Here are some of the Plants you will meet on this site (more to come, always).

Some have information in detail ("Info"), with descriptions, ways to prepare, nutrition and lore. These pages are being added slowly and steadily.
For almost all there are scans ("Scan") of pressed plants from my herbarium. As such they have defects, folded leaves, etc. Colors change as plants dry. Also, like all Web images, they take more time to load than text.
"Pictures" are photographs of the plants in their natural habitat.

Use other resources to positively identify plants, not just this one--see References and Links.

Always identify exactly any plant or mushroom, and know it is edible, before you consume and devour it!
