29 Sassafras. Well, the leaves had all fallen, and the camera would never have focused on the twigs of the little ones, so I took pictures of some trunks. This one the flash came on.
30 Sassafras. Then I tried one with the flash turned off.
31 Sassafras. A bigger trunk with the flash on. The camera has a tendency to overexpose flash pictures.
32 Sassafras. So I took one with the flash off. But with the longer exposure time, and hand holding the camera, it is a bit blurred.
33 Wild Asparagus. Wrong time of the year to eat it, but here's a picture of it anyway.
34 Crab Apple Tree
35 Crab Apple Tree
36 Crab Apple. Wildman cut one open to show that all apples have the seeds in a star.

38 Rose Hips. With people grabbing the tree it was hard to take a picture of a moving bunch of berries.
39 Wild Bay Leaf
40 Blewit Mushroom
41 Blewit Mushroom
42 Wild Parsnips
43 Wild Parsnips. A nice fat tap root.
44 Wild Parsnips. The fellow that dug this one spent quite a while to get such a long root.
45 Garlic Mustard
46 Garlic Mustard
47 Garlic Mustard
48 Garlic Mustard. Well, the seeds were almost all gone, but I found a few. There were some in this picture, but they didn't come out. On pictures like this the camera has difficulty focusing.
49 Northern Wild Raisins
50 Northern Wild Raisins
51 Northern Wild Raisin Bush
52 Reishi Mushroom. Too old to eat.
53 Witch Hazel
54 Witch Hazel
55 Wild Apples. Real apples and not crab apples. That's Wildman there with his arm outstretched, pointing out more of the trees.
56 Wild Apples. To get them down some of the guys climbed the trees and shook them down. One got much higher up than this picture shows.
57 Wild Apple - Closeup. Isn't it pretty?
58 Field Garlic (Wild Onions). We didn't have time to go over this one. We spent a lot of time collecting apples. But I took a quick shot of a bunch.
