Mulberries are a well known and popular wild urban edible that a lot of foragers come to know early in the development of the craft. They are easily identifiable, taste great, and prolific in urban and peri-urban environments which means lots of people can get to know them. Not only are there an abundant of Mulberry trees out there, each fruit producing tree makes buckets of fruit that litter the sidewalks for a month if the birds, squirrels, Raccoons and humans don't get at them first. And while Mulberries don't seem like a political focal point in the world of conservation, I am learning that they can be as well. I got to visit with my friend Matt Soltys (The Urban Orchardist) to discuss Mulberries and their ecology. We sat in a small backyard cabin adjacent to his Mulberry tree to keep out of the rain and got into some big questions : How many species actually grow around the Great Lakes bioregion? Where does hybridization come in clutch in the context of global change and massive anthropogenic disturbance of the landscape? Are conventional conversations around conservation xenophobic and colonial or do they uplift and support decolonial efforts to retain ancestral cultural and land based relations? While we don't have the answers, I think these are important questions to be asking. Additionally, near the end of the podcast we discuss Sam Thayer's new book Field Guide to Edible Wild Plants of Eastern and Central North America⁠ out now from Forager's Harvest. Big thanks to Matt Soltys of The Urban Orchardist for taking the time to be on the show and sharing his research and ideas.

Today's dinner is rice with sansai. Japanese sansai dishes are delicious. Sansai is written in Kanji characters as 'mountain vegetables'. Vegetables(yasai) are large, but sansai are small. Vegetables are produced by people. Sansai is not food produced by people. They are in the mountains. They can also be found in parks and forests. In the UK, I sometimes see sansai when I go for a walk, but I have never picked and eaten them.

Akiva Silver has been studying and working with nature for the past 20 years. His endeavors have ranged from primitive wilderness survival to planting and maintaining diverse fruit and nut orchards, and to running his nursery business at Twisted Tree Farm. Akiva raises tens of thousands of trees every year, propagating from seeds and cuttings. He is an avid forager and observer of wildlife. Akiva has written three books, Trees of Power, The Conversation, and The Ocean of Dreams. In this episode… An approach to creating change through inspiration and alternative solutions rather than opposition…Bringing opposition to those in service only to self can interrupt their agenda, but building new and better systems lays the groundwork for change from a place of love. What we put our focus on often grows, and that includes world problems as well as alternative solutions. One alternative solution Akiva has been working on is cooking oil…using the oft-maligned bitternut hickory as a source of cooking oil, instead of relying on an annual monocrop like canola whose production creates a biological desert on the land. The story about Akiva's experience with wilderness and survival skills, how the guilt of taking from the earth, the plant and animal bodies to fuel his own body, was transformed into gratitude, paired with a realization that we are part of nature and the carbon cycle, we have the same value and right to be here…”you are taking life to have life. Something is killed for you to have energy. When I kill a deer and eat it, I have that energy in my body. What I do with that energy matters more to me when I remember this.” You can take that energy and wallow in self pity and self doubt, or you can take that life in order to create beauty and kindness and propagate life. A certain responsibility enters the picture. The joy of doing work that is directed by the seasons, the patterns of nature, instead of by a human schedule. “Having an attitude of curiosity would lead to a totally different world” The best way to be mentally healthy and happy is to know that you have a purpose, know that you're helping others…finding how you can be of service is the best thing you can do for yourself and the world.

Back in 2018, a vandal or vandals partially sunk CCGS McLaren. The CBC's Brett Ruskin brings us an update on the ship. It won't be repaired for another year or two. We hear about the 25th anniversary of the Confederation Bridge. And on the phone-in: Edible wild plants.

We've got a great show for you today with Kelly Kindscher, PhD. He's the author of Edible Wild Plants of the Prairie, a senior scientist at the Kansas Biological Survey and a Professor in the Environmental Studies Program at the University of Kansas. His research specialties are plant community ecology, conservation biology, restoration ecology, botany, and ethnobotany. His passion is for wild prairies, wild plants, and wild landscapes. If you've got questions about the ecology of the prairie, Kelly Kindscher is your guy. And, we've got questions about the prairie! We love interviews like this, deep dives on specific topics — especially getting to explore the big history of landscapes and their ecology. In our short lifetimes, we get such a brief glimpse into the places we live or visit, so drawing upon the incredible history and science to piece together a big-picture story, to us, is both revelatory and thrilling. Today, of course, we're talking about the prairie, how it was formed — which, most interestingly, had strong anthropogenic influence — and what happened from the first settlement there, up to European contact, and right up to the present. Having visited the prairie last year, not for the first time, but for the first time with intentionality, Daniel is keenly interested in this ecological treasure. And, having eaten from what it provides, in the form of bison, chokecherries, and prairie turnips, we really value the message that Dr. Kelly is sharing. That our prairie restoration efforts must include edible and medicinal plants if we hope to make a lasting change in how modern Americans relate to this crucial ecotype. Trying to rebuild it, exclusive of people just means people forget about it. Out of site, out of mind. But creating landscapes that humans can interact with, particularly at the gustatory level — which incidentally is likely the reason the prairies were built by humans in the first place — means that people, rather than forgetting, will instead be interacting. What we care about we protect. It's a beautiful and timely message about a place whose importance can't be overstated. And of course, this same thinking can be applied to any and all landscapes. Like Kelly, we think tending wild landscapes for food and medicine is the missing component that gives modern people a reason to care. The answers are already there, they just need to be implemented.

A wellness practice that has been a life-changer for me is releasing caffeine from my life. Five years ago I was introduced to a product that started my journey of giving up coffee. If you're thinking - “I could never!” trust me I was just like you. I finally fully gave up coffee because of this product - Dandy Blend, a roasted plant beverage that actually tastes as good as coffee. On today's episode, I'm introducing you to the women behind the brand. Karin Reale, the CFO of Dandy Blend, and Gina Reale the CMO of Dandy Blend, with their family, have carried on the legacy of Karin's father, Dr. Peter Gail. Dubbed the “King of Dandelions,” botanist and Dandy Blend Founder Dr. Peter Gail devoted his life's work to the study of wild plants – particularly the dandelion. From teaching others how to safely consume freshly foraged weeds, herbs, and roots to using them for medicinal and healing properties, Dr. Gail amassed one of the largest collections of recipes and folklore for wild edible plants in the U.S. His passion for educating others was evident in the various books he published as well as his 16-year tenure as a professor at Cleveland State University. Today this mother and daughter team, in partnership with Dr. Gail's son-in-law and grandson, carries on the business in his honor – they continue to share Peace + Happiness with others through his legacy, a sentiment Dr. Gail held dear. In the episode we discuss: * The background of the brand * What it was like growing up in an environment that honors foraging wild plants * Stories from customers about how plants have changed their health * Health benefits of dandelion  * Favorite ways to incorporate wild plants into your diet * Lessons passed down from Dr. Gail Find and follow Dandy Blend at @dandyblend Resource:  Book mentioned in this episode: Raise Your Vibration: 111 Practices to Increase Your Spiritual Connection by Kyle Gray, Life As A Daymaker: How To Change The World By Making Someone's Day by David Wagner, The Alchemist by Paulo Coehlo Upcoming events to know about: Join my upcoming workshops and courses, all of which are available on my events page.

Our guest is Winifred Bird who is a writer, translator, lifelong cook, and lover of plants, based in northern Illinois.  Winnie recently published a fabulous book called “Eating Wild Japan - Tracking the Culture of Foraged Foods, with a Guide to Plants and Recipes” from Stone Bridge Press.    When we talk about Japanese cuisine, we tend to think of dishes like sushi, ramen and kaiseki without considering enough about native ingredients that play a significant role in Japanese food culture.  One of the most important ingredients is sansai or edible wild plants.  Since two-thirds of Japan’s total land area is forested, you can find amazing seasonal edible plants throughout Japan.  Winnie is one of the very few people who discovered the charm of sansai and wrote a book about it in English, based on her experience of living in Japan for 9 years.  In this episode, we will discuss Winnie’s eventful life in Japan, what sansai is, why sansai is so important in Japanese food culture, delicious sansai dishes that you should not miss at Japanese restaurants or in Japan and  much, much more!!! Heritage Radio Network is a listener supported nonprofit podcast network.

Today on Mushroom Hour we have the amazing opportunity to interview Lorelle Sherman. Lorelle is an accomplished field naturalist who has studied flora, fauna and funga of diverse ecosystems across the US. She received her BS in Forest and Wildlife Biology from the University of Vermont and received her Masters Degree in Forest Ecology at Oregon State University. In the wilds near Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, we find a young Lorelle bounding across neighbors' yards to sneak away to the nearest woodland. She found a calling at the University of Vermont to explore nature and its wildlife more deeply and to share her passion with others. She would return after her college years to work with the Western PA Conservancy and become an environmental educator. What are some effective methods she has learned to communicate environmental information and inspire others to learn more about the natural world? Pursuing a Masters degree in forest ecology, Lorelle made her way to Oregon in the Pacific Northwest. Along with studying flora, fauna and funga interconnections in the forest, Lorelle has researched the tremendous importance of forest fires. Forests like the Cascade forests she has researched in the Pacific Northwest introduce us to the concept of fire-dependent ecosystems. There are plants and fungi that have evolved to rely on forest fires to reproduce and there are even birds that rely on fires to thrive! Applying this knowledge, we ask hard questions like, is human management necessary in forest ecosystems or is it best to leave it alone? Are prescribed fires a neglected tool that can help prevent more disastrous forest fires? Lorelle's deep passion for nature has always involved wild foods. Foraging has evolved from a teenage hobby, to leading groups at college, to now teaching others about wild food at the Wildcraft Studio in Portland Oregon. She believes everyone should be empowered to supplement their diet with wild foods from nature, so long as we remember the importance of sustainability. We'll learn about her new wild food business and how she is blending her passions to forge her own path into the forest.
