This forested canyon holds a special place in my heart - it's the first place I found a Lion's Mane mushroom
🔍🧠🍄
Still was overjoyed to find this species despite it being far too gone and mushy (pun intended) to harvest or ingest. Perhaps 10+ days earlier and it would have served up several batches of Lion's Mane jalapeno poppers or something creative like that 👨🍳

Felt great after the winter to get out and do some small harvesting of nettles.. Which have an amazing aroma (if you've picked nettles before, you know the deeply nourishing smell they give off while harvesting)

You'll see I dug up a bit of the nettle root as well, which has an incredible tonic effect for men: prostate health, protecting healthy testosterone levels, reducing hay fever/seasonal allergies, and even benefiting heart health..
~
Whenever you are out foraging, if you are considering harvesting roots, be extremely selective and take a very limited amount, OR just buy sustainably harvested extracts from companies you trust. Many plants that are great herbal tonics provide important ecological functions and there is a big list of over-harvested plants that are on the verge of extinction! Forage mindfully 🙏

The roots here will be used in a blend of herbs to protect against environmental toxins, improve cortisol levels, and benefit optimal hormone levels - the leaves got made into a peso 🌿🌰👨🍳

Here's the nettle pesto I made last night, and the washed nettle roots which have been dried in the oven overnight. They will be chopped and then shredded up in a coffee grinder, ready to add to an herbal tea formula which I'll post about soon 🍵
If you ever thought you were too small to make a hugely massive positive impact, watch this short documentary!!

Forest Man
Since the 1970's Majuli islander Jadav Payeng has been planting trees in order to save his island. To date he has single handedly planted a forest larger than Central Park NYC. His forest has transformed what was once a barren wasteland, into a lush oasis.…
3 days, 3 giant cleanups of a sensitive ecosystem! Estimated roughly 1000+ pounds of trash hauled from the river and surrounding forest each day..
