  • Fall in the Pacific Northwest means berry season! My friends and I went backpacking in the Oregon wilderness over Labor Day Weekend and found 15+ wild-growing berries. We chowed on thimbleberries, huckleberries, raspberries, serviceberries, watermelon berries, and many others. I had my GoPro handy and managed to film bits and pieces of our wild edibles harvest in between tasty bites. Watch this video to learn how to identify and forage for over a dozen delicious berries.

      To be fair, goose berries bear simular aspects to red currants if I'm not mistaken. I'm not a wild edible professional identifier or whatever you want to call it. But I am an oregon native and have seen both goose berries and red currants.

    • @lordtachanka80
      @lordtachanka80 2 роки тому +1

      @@Chopped93VX yes, when fully ripe, red gooseberries look fairly similar, the biggest difference to me is that the curents look more jelly-like and the gooseberries tend to have a shiny skin making them not as translucent.
      But to be honest if I were out foraging, I could have mixed them up too.

      when bears come out of hibernation they eat more moths than anything to my knowledge of brown bears in Oregon. and he is in Oregon and our lands are full of berries. So many are actually invasive unlike East coast. Black berries get chopped and mowed down here. Goats are purchased to clear lands of berries bushes. lots of nature and space and we share in our state with our well protected animals. If he wont kill a plant, he wont take from an animal.I 💚💚💚your concerns. it is so special to see and read of your love for wildlife. That is what our state is about...protecting nature and wildlife.

      I believe the berry you ate was Solanum dulcamara
      , also known as bittersweet nightshade. Its naturalized in our state, and I've seen it before. They're very pretty lol. It produces purple flowers that have yellow stamens. It has berries that are green when unripe, which eventually turn yellow and then to red when fully ripe. The chemical that causes the hallucinations (along with a wide array of potentially deadly effects) is solanine. It causes delirium.
      I would highly suggest that you never eat those berries again. Not only is it known to cause delirium and possibly deadly side effects, but its pharmacology is relatively unknown. At least with things like deadly nightshade and datura you actually know how its poisoning you.
      Also, if you could, you should make a report of your experience on reddit or erowid.

    Number 1 is just not helpful....obviously people won't eat something unless they THINK they are certain what it is....the problem is if they are wrong. I wish I could forage, but without being an expert (or being with one) I am simply not confident enough that I have accurately recognized wild edibles. It's quite sad because there are dozens of plants I have studied carefully and believe I have correctly identified on my property, but there is a tiny niggling doubt that there might be a lookalike that I don't know about and I might poison myself. ...
    I need an expert foraging friend. 😞
