Verpa bohemica

Early Morel, Wrinkled Thumb-Cap

Edible for some, poisonous for others. My advice: don’t eat it. Unless you really have to. Then, you do you.

Physalis peruviana

Cape Gooseberry, Goldenberry, Physalis

These are one of my all time favorites!! Seriously, if you see them in the store and you like trying unusual flavors, you should definitely pick them up. Yes, they are a little pricey sometimes, but they are well worth it. The flavor is unique, but not so weird that it’ll send people running, and if I had to describe it, I’d say it’s like a sweet tomato crossed with a pineapple- very sweet with a bit of a tangy punch and a very deep flavor.
