season: late-fall
section: what the land is offering
---

- rose hips, bright red on bare canes. more vitamin c than oranges. dry for tea.
- late persimmons, fully soft now and sweet as candy after hard frost.
- turkey tail mushrooms on fallen logs. not for eating but for a medicinal broth.
- dried seedheads of evening primrose. the roots are edible, peppery when cooked.
- pine needles, fresh growth if you can find it. steep for a sharp vitamin c tea.
- black walnuts still on the ground if you missed them. hull and cure them.

the land is closing down but not empty. late fall foraging is about knowing what lasts and what the cold has made sweeter.
