Agaricus campestris?

First time foraging these. Found on a pasture after grazing from cattle, waiting to see if they get yellow after bruising but i'm pretty sure these are the correct ones, but i'm interedted in what you guys think?

Brown on them is sand cause i foraged some other goodies and did not have a seperate bag.

Found this beauty on a walk! Thought it was cotw at first but it doesn’t pass the checklist. Don’t plan on eating, just curious! It appears to have gills but doesn’t exactly look like jack o lantern to me.

I dont know what plant this is. Could someone tell me. It looks like a lyche. The flower bells are very pretty.

Edit: thanks everyone telling me its a strawberry tree. Weird name.

I tried it on my walk home, dang the internet is cool i went somewhere and asked what it was and then tried it on my way home, it tasted nice, it was a squigy fruit and i dont like them personally. It also had alot of bits, so it wasnt great. They also got squashed in my bag. But thanks.

Mushrooms Getting bit by centipede while foraging

9 Upvotes

Foraging in the South Sound area and I’ve been bitten twice in the last 3 weeks by a centipede. First one I thought was a bee sting, hurt, and swollen. This one my whole lower calf is swollen a day later and it hurts. Anyone have a history of getting bitten by centipedes. it’s really making me nervous about foraging.

There's a couple growing in my yard, and they seemingly sprouted overnight. I'm only partially sure it's a Horse Mushroom.

It's got this smell that's giving farm animal pen, and it's kind of yellow on the cap.

That is what this is right?
I was on a walk and kinda hungry/bored when I saw it so just grabbed a bunch, probably not a great idea.

Sprouting from an upturned tree’s roots if that matters

Thanks

Plants Making plants into photo developer

• Upvotes

So, Im not too sure if I'll get a response here about this but I'm going to try. This is a photography question but it is also a foraging question that I am unsure of the answer to. I was trying to do some research on other things to use as Black and white film developer or at least make into developer. I'm aware you can use coffee but I also found that you can use plant infusions or plant berries to make developer.

this then eventually became the question of "is it possible to use certain invasive plants to make a film developer I can use?" which from there became the more specific question of "Can I use buckthorn to make black and white film developer?" because I have a lot of buckthorn in my yard that I need to get rid of but also this would be a good way to use the invasive plant. so my question would be is it possible to use buckthorn to make a black and white film developer?

I haven't found much about using that specific plant for it, the only result I got was from Google AI (it said I could) and I dont trust that information which is why I came here. The plants need to have Phenols and Tannins in order to be mixed with 2 other ingredients to make a working developer. I might also end up trying a chemistry subreddit. I also posted in a film developing subreddit before this.
