Re: Wild Edible Plants
Well I messed up again(surprise). I'm sure theres a way to put comments with each pic but the devil made me mess up.
I hate it when that happens.
So --- post/38 ---large white thing on moose antler is a ?fungus? That grows on Birch trees. Small brown object with stones is inner piece of fungus growth on Birch.
Post/41 --- everything is on a naturally shed moose antler from Kenai peninsula ,Alaska.
Bottom is fungus growth from Birch tree.
Blue stone(lapis lazuli) is on naturally shed Elk antler from Afognak island which is next to Kodiak island, Alaska.
Above left of blue stone is a piece of Mastadon ivory.
Above right of blue stone is a chunk of old walrus ivory.
To the right of walrus ivory is a stone called Chrysocola.

Re: Wild Edible Plants
Forgot to say: like the wild edibles all ivory and naturally shed antlers we're found in the same manner that is used to find wild edibles.

Re: Wild Edible Plants
Also, yesterday I went to At&T to get help sending pics. Spent 29 minutes with a "pro". The "pro" then went cross eyed and sent me to an authorized Apple representative. Spent 25 minutes there and then was asked if I could leave my I pad at the store for an hour or so. Finally got to the point I'm at now but all research I was doing for another site on this forum was gone. Apparently I was not storing gathered info correctly(who would have ever guessed).

Re: Wild Edible Plants
Also forgot to say, the upper green stone with darker green center is Vericite and the tea is quite pleasant.

Re: Wild Edible Plants
That's really fascinating stuff, Alaska seems to be full of these natural treasures, especially all the stones you're finding. The variety of mushroom you posted is I believe a polypore, a class with no toxic varieties, though many are not very pleasant to eat as they can be woody, or without taste. I'm sure that some might have medicinal properties though.
All these stones you find... do they naturally appear on the ground during your travels in the wilderness? And the Vericite... that is part of a stone that you make tea with? wow. I never heard of such a thing.Comment

Re: Wild Edible Plants
Sorry for lack of clarity. I started carving ivory, naturally shed antlers and rocks when I was 27. I'm now 63Originally posted by jgk3 View Post
(but everyone tells me I still look 62). The stones are just to enhance the photos --- no food value. Also although there are many stones in Alaska none of rocks in pics are from Alaska. The Mastadon, Walrus, elk and moose are from Alaska. I showed them as well to both make pictures interesting but also similar to wild edible hunting one can find wild none edibles with much the same personal satisfaction and pleasure.
Make sense now? I'm the kind of guy if you meet me I often as not have gems on my person, been that way since I was a kid.
