Squirreltail

Squirreltail (Elymus elymoides) is a type of rye that comes from North America, and is especially common around the Mississippi River. This bunchgrass is particularly good winter forage for sheep, though it works for other livestock as well if needed. Squirreltail's bristly awns become tougher and sharper as the plant ages.

Small whorled pogonia

Small whorled pogonia is self-pollinating and prefers young forests or woodlands with an open canopy. Small whorled pogonia is presumably named for its leaf habit of forming a coil - or whorl – around its upper stem. It is considered rare and has been listed as ‘Threatened’ by the United States Forest Service.

Rattlesnake fern

Botrypus virginianus is called rattlesnake fern in some parts of North America because of it regularly grows in the same habitats as certain species of rattlesnakes. It prefers to grow in moist woods with dense shade, as it's not tolerant of sunlight.

Rattlesnake fern

Rattlesnake fern is distinguished from other grape ferns by its one sterile leaf. It is often called the “rattlesnake fern” because the spores that line the top of the plant resemble the tail of a rattlesnake.

Pluteaceae mushrooms

Pluteaceae mushrooms is a family of fungi that lives by decomposing wood. To the casual observer they look just like regular mushrooms, but to fungi experts they present more of a problem since the members of this genus are notoriously hard to classify, and some resemble deadly poisonous fungi. This is a great reminder why only experts should collect mushrooms.

Agaricaceae

Agaricaceae is a cornerstone of the fungi world and encompasses many commonly found mushrooms. As a scientific family, it has over a thousand classified species! From tiny and toxic to massive and meaty, agaricaceae has a lot to offer. Research has found that it is an ancient family and could date back 20.44 million years ago.

Also known as: Wine cap, Wine roundhead, Godzilla mushroom

These large mushrooms have distinctive red caps when young, but the color soon fades to brown as they mature. Rare in the wild, wine cap stropharia are highly regarded among foragers as a desirable edible mushroom. Discard any specimens with holes in the stalk or caps, as flies use them to lay eggs. They are also cultivated.
