3 Common Evening Primrose. Note white vein down the middle of the leaf.

4 Common Evening Primrose - Flower

5 Common Evening Primrose. Some seeds in Wildman's hand.

26 Aniseroot (Sweet Cicely)

27 Aniseroot (Sweet Cicely). This and the next were from later in the tour.

28 Aniseroot (Sweet Cicely)

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.

37 Poor Man's Pepper

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.
