RE: How to make a wreath from twigs
We have the same birch boletes in Oregon, but I don't have any in my own yard -- yet. I planted some birch trees, so maybe someday I will have them right at home. Here's a post where I am using birch leaves in a salad - here. The season is short before they have too much tannin in them, but while they are young and tender, they are good! If you eat them this spring, you can write a taste review! :D
Oh this is great!! Thanks for the link to your post!! I will definitely make the taste review :D.
And I also hope you can have some birch boletes in your yard soon. We sometimes pick old and eaten by warms mushrooms from the forest, than we bury them under the trees. So that the mycelium will spread. I don't know if it is actually working but we keep on doing that and each season we are able to pick up more and more mushrooms.
I have planted some good mushroom trees in my yard - hoping that the mushrooms will follow. And it seems to be working - with the Slippery Jacks and and a couple others. But I'm still waiting for mushrooms under my birch trees and larches, lol. I should get some old mushrooms from the forest and bring them home! :D
