My super secret grape spot is slowwwwly turning purple 🍇

These here are fox grapes, aka frost grapes because after the first frost they get very sweet – before that they’re pretty tart.

But like most other wild fruits, you GOTTA taste them before picking them. Sometimes they taste like the most delightful grape jelly of your life. Sometimes they’re acidic as hell. Other times they’re just okay.

But honestly – i haven’t met any wild grape that doesn’t make an awesome jam, jelly, or syrup. It just depends on if you want to eat them fresh!

Some cool lichens I saw today! Seek was able to ID a few but it really struggles with crustose ones.

and a bonus, brown eyed wolf lichen!

[lichenaday]

Letrouitia vulpina 

This crustose lichen has a smooth or cracked thallus that varies in color from green to yellow to orange. It has distorted apothecia with a red-orange to brown disc and a yellow-orange to bright orange margin. It grows on tree bark in rainforest and humid costal forests in tropical regions of Africa, Asia, Australia, Oceania, and the Americas. And it's really really cute. Can't get enough of this color combo. Very hunter-orange-camo chic.

Now that this sweet boy has grown up, it is time to introduce Letho!

While the Menagerie proper is a relatively peaceful, if sometimes hectic settlement, the tangled woods and ruins surrounding it are much less so, and often require both guides and guards to make sure travelers make it through relatively unscathed. Letho here, is a mix of two jobs. Though an easy going and largely docile dragon, thus favoring the guiding half, he is nonetheless capable of a swift, calculated ruthlessness befitting the pelt he wears, and can provide an extra guarantee of safety for those under his watchful eye. When not on the job, however, he enjoys playing his own version of hide and seek with any hatchlings currently staying in the village, often delegated to the task of being solely it, as the "big bad wolf" promising to gobble up any kids he finds, but so easily outwitted by the clever young ones, much to their delight. As a wind dragon, he also has a fondness for song, and those who have heard him sing claim he has a beautiful voice, something he is far more bashful about, and inclined to politely brush off.

FOTD #070 : wolf lichen! (letharia vulpina)

wolf lichen is a fruticose lichenised fungus in the family parmeliaceae. it occurs across the pacific northwest & is common on branches that have been stripped of their bark. they have a history of being used for medicine (by indigenous people of the northwest plateau) & dyeing (by the klamath people).

the big question : can i bite it?? no - this fungus is poisonous to meat-eaters. (vulpinic acid)

l. vulpina description :

"the thallus, or vegetative body, has a fruticose shape — that is, shrubby & densely branched — & a bright yellow to yellow-green, or chartreuse color, although the color will fade in drier specimens. its dimensions are typically 2 to 7 cm (0.8 to 3 in) in diameter. the vegetative reproductive structures soredia & isidia are present on the surface of the thalli, often abundantly."

Lichen is a natural way to create various colors for your textile and craft projects depending on the type you forage and how you process it. Beard, wolf & lungwort (usnea, letharia vulpina & lobaria pulmonaria) are great lichen to start with since they are often blown away from their host and more easily collected from the forest floor. This tutorial will show the boiling water method of making dye from each type of lichen, as well as the resulting color swatch samples (wool, silk, bamboo & cotton).
