Enjoying the out-doors
For those of you interested, here is a good book to help you enjoy being outside and having fun:
Fernald, Merritt Lyndon: EDIBLE WILD PLANTS OF EASTERN NORTH AMERICA, Harper and Row, c1958. Read about the poisionous plants FIRST - you want to KNOW what NOT to use beforehand. Try some of the plants listed yourself and see. I think you will really enjoy the fun that comes with doing things like this for yourself and those you care about. And you will learn a lot and have fun doing it. Take Care, John H. |

Avoid mushrooms. Even experts screw up from time to time.

Hi Mudge, Actually you are told that in the beginning of the book itself. And this is NOT a place to screw up - mushrooms can be DEADLY and the suffering is TREMENDOUS and permanent. Take Care, John H. |

Hi Chain, That would be true for sure. The place where you show you are quoting me about "my ass hurts" - I never said that or made that statement. I do not talk like that and do not write like that. I do not know how you did what you did in quoting me. Take Care, John H. |

If someone studies mushrooms their whole life and loses a liver over it, I dont think growing up on a farm is going to make someone more of an expert.
 My dad was a country boy too AND studies them, that doesn't mean he can identify 3200 species accurately, about 1200 of which are harmfull. |

Anybody here goes outdoors to 'tough-it-out"? it's definately a very fun experience. You don't have a large load to carry and you WILL have something to talk about when you get back.
