"The cases have uncovered internal Monsanto documents that plaintiffs’ lawyers say reveal the ways in which the company has “bullied” scientists over the years and helped “ghostwrite” research defending the safety of glyphosate" theguardian.com/business/2019/…

Don't dry Pepper Dulse on your paper road map of gweat bwitain! Though I do like how most of it stuck to the North Sea :)

Horse Mussels aka Modiolus modiolus. Significantly larger than common mussels, live solitary or in small gatherings, often in much deeper water than I found these & can live up to 50 years. They had camouflaged themselves very well. Another chap pointed them out to me. #foraging

Dandelion Flower Wine. Been some years since I brewed this, why, I have no idea as from what I remember it was a cracking homebrew! I lost myself while gathering & ended up with enough flowers for a double batch. Left enough green calyx to add a resinous edge to it #foraging

Salad of raw sea spaghetti, dulse, pepper dulse, spring beauty, sweet cicely, ramson & brown crab w/ a magnolia vinaigrette. Made this while on the road approx 1 month ago #foraging #wildfood

Word of the day: "bombology" - the study of bumblebees; the c. 250 species in the genus Bombus, part of the bee family. 'Bombus' is from the Greek onomatopoeia βόμβος; to buzz, hum.These vital, beautiful pollinators are declining due to habitat loss & pesticides. #SaveTheBees

Mayfly hatched & dancing above my head by the river

The plump insect grub has emerged! 3 days growth of the same Chicken of the Woods. Perfectly squidgy, perfect to eat. #foraging #wildfood #fungi

Unripe green figs & leaves. Distinctly coconutty fragrance to both. Use leaf to flavour dishes. Figs can be preserved: got an Elderflower, orange & lemon infused smoked maple syrup waiting for the final stage. #foraging #wildfood #figs

Found a window of sunshine the other, perfect Elderflower gathering weather. 10L of Elderflower & Sea Buckthorn Berry natural fizz is now on. Remainder going to add flavour to preserved green figs #foraging #wildfood #elderflower

The effects of a herbicide on; nettle, cleavers & common hogweed. 3 natural & beneficial herbs, all edible & medicinal. Why they were targeted I have no idea, they were just happily growing, within a hedgerow, causing no harm. #foraging #wildfood #herbicides #poisonous #illhealth

I recognise those tasty & almond like aroma'd hats... #foraging #wildfood #fungi #fairyringchampignon

If Labour forms a government – minority or majority – it should invite the Greens’ Caroline Lucas to be environment secretary. My column. theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Roll up, roll up! Genuine nonsense guaranteed to make u fume (& chuckle with gross irony!) @pgreenfielduk 's sensationally inaccurate portrayal of biodiversity loss via the gathering of wild fungi & (strangely) published by The Guardian Pollution, agriculture, land loss = culprits

This is really great policy from The Labour Party. Genuinely exciting. What a country this could be! theguardian.com/politics/2019/…

Himanthalia elongata or more commonly known as Sea Spaghetti. Super early & super cute growth. Great couple of days by the coast. Added some of the fresh Himanthalia to a dish I made for lunch - see image: #foraging #wildfood #seaweed

Ramsons are exploding onto the scene in many places. We've been gathering from this patch since mid-january. This lot is destined for the first fully, Ramson lacto-ferment of 2020 - added some to red cabbage & chipotle chilli ferment two weeks ago. Lovely Scarlet Elf Cups out 2
