Mayapples (Podophyllum peltatum)

A large patch of Mayapples were discovered while Morel mushroom hunting one day. I intend to go back and harvest the yellow ripened fruit around July and August.

Check out this thread over at BCUSA to learn more about a discussion regarding the following mushrooms:

Thistle? Prickly Lettuce of some Kind?

I do not know as of yet if this is either a type of thistle, wild lettuce or some other type of plant. After another member at BCUSA posted a thread on eating the leaf stalk of the Bull Thistle, I was on the lookout that day and this is the closest thing I could find. I also learned that I need to cut a leaf off, and look at its underside, and also take a closer picture and feel it as well.

Sugarberry/Southern Hackberry (Celtis Occidentalis)

I was very excited to finally ID this tree. I have come across its distinct bark, which is described a "warty projections" and could not find a similiar photograph in either of my field guides. Coming across the above term, enabled me to search Google and finally ID this tree. I will be adding more about the Sugarberry as time continues, especially related to its fruit.
