![]() ![]() When he finds a new mushroom, he takes pictures of it with his phone and then looks it up in a mushroom field guide when we get home to see if it’s edible or not. When we go on walks through the woods, while I’m busy spotting plants, taking photos of them, and telling our four boys what they are and how to use them, my husband is busy looking for mushrooms. And then, there are the mushrooms - inedible and edible mushrooms that grow abundantly on the cool, damp forest floor.Įdible mushrooms have always intrigued my husband. I’m constantly amazed, and I long to learn more about the plants that live so close to my front door. Several years ago, my family and I moved deeper into the mountains, and since then, a whole new world of herbs has opened up to me. Not only are they important parts of their habitat, but many mushrooms can also be beneficial to our wellness as well. Mushrooms are an important part of the woodland ecosystem. In this post, I’d like to take a peek at the world of woodland herbs - more specifically the world of amazing mushrooms that grow in the woods and forests. As I grow into the herbalist I want to become, these woodland plants call to me - to learn about them, to use them, and to share their gifts with others. Here, a vast world of woodland plants and fungi is waiting to be discovered. My home is surrounded by trees, ferns, and mushrooms, and no matter the season, I feel the pull to venture outdoors into the peaceful forest that waits to be explored. I live in the mountains of East Tennessee, deep in the southern half of the Appalachian mountain range. ![]()
