I have an app on my phone. You can take a picture of any plant and it will identify it. Picture This I use it to identify roadside wildflowers and stuff. There are surprisingly a lot of medicinal herbs just growing wild. Comfry, burcock, echinacea, etc.

I wondered if there was such an app as you’re describing. Good to know…Thanks for sharing that! Picture This 😃

I like it in the winter when I want a hot drink but not the caffeine. I've tried decaf tea and it's not much to speak of. With chamomile I use just a tiny bit of sugar to bring out the flavor.
i don’t think there is caffeine in this one. I don’t know for sure though.

i would use the free version of Sky View.

I’m not signing up for Picture This until i’m ready to trek about- seven days is long enough to get at least some idents in. I already know a lot of what grows around here and lately i’m paying more attention to what’s edible (for obv reasons) i can ident (with certainty) one edible mushroom variety called the King Trumpet or Black Trumpet, other edible mushrooms around here love to come up in burned out forest areas a year or two after and a wet winter season, and there’s plenty of that in these parts.

Can I just say it's much better to skip mushrooms. They add almost no the nutritional value but the results of picking the wrong ones can be disastrous.

This is not me speaking, this is being said by loads of experts.

And there are plenty of cattle running around so I can harvest those mushrooms. So I've heard.

but they taste so scrumptious. I agrée with you, the risk is NOT worth the reward. a group of six Koreans died after mushrooming for chanterelles here in Oregon- eating the wrong species. The point of differentiating a toxic chanterelle from an edible one is very subtle- you have to know the difference between ridges and gills.

no, though we have a number of cattle where I live. I got kicked in the knee once by an old Hereford cow. Man did that hurt. Pushing over a bull might cause you some pain.
they use to roam out of the pasture into the roadway where i grew up. teenagers would go out there at night and tip them over.
