Вставка
- Опубліковано 9 лют 2025
- Maine is full of wild edibles including a staple in our Maine diets: the fiddlehead or ostrich fern. Tag along as we go foraging and take a look to see what is growing out in the wild early this spring! We won't go too in depth so that the video isn't 2 days long - but I'll point out a couple of things and maybe teach you a thing or two. As usual, we'll see some wildlife as well!
In this video we will take a look at the infamous fiddleheads as well as:
Pheasant Back Mushrooms
Broad Leaf Plantain
Trout Lilies
Stinging Nettle
Wintercress
PLEASE NOTE: This video is for educational and entertainment purposes only. It is not intended to be your guide for identifying wild edibles. Please use a field guide or the judgement of an expert before consuimg anything you find out in the wild. Thank you.
Excellent
Thanks Bill!
Great info, thanks. Down here in southern Maine the fiddlehead season was also very short. I found plenty of ramps though.
Thanks! Yeah, what a weird season. Started late because of the cold, a frost up here took out a days worth, and then with things getting so hot so quick it made things boom and end two weeks early. I'm jealous of the ramps. I've yet to locate any good patches...
Thanks for taking us along
Thanks for watching and the support!
have u heard of ghost pipe i just found some the other day im from northern maine
Yes indeed. It is a very cool plant that can be made into a very strong medicine
You can actually eat stinging nettles raw. Just roll the leaves a few times between your fingers and that will neutralize the stingers.
Letting them wilt does the same. The stingers get their strength from water pressure
Don't see thems in Florida
I'm sure things are quite a bit different down there!
@@wildmaine4341 I would love to see the stuff you do guess I have to move out of Florida to see all 4 season and the diff wildlife
