Mushroom ID

[Steve Potratz]

Anyone want to take a stab at IDing the new growth in my Garden?

[d o u g d u b o i s]

Cool, we can ask for plant IDs here?

I have a feeling I should be embarrassed for having to ask, but I can't find this
"weed" in my books, and I have a lot of it this year. What is this?

I always call it Wild Sorrel, but I could definitely be wrong!

I have seen this too. This is a young biannual and it may be too early
to tell. I suspicious that it may be a very young curly dock.

Take it to the extension office for positive ID.

No need to be embarrassed. It is hard to id plants without a bloom.
It is not curly dock. It looks like it might be a wild lettuce. See the spines on the sides starting to form on the sides?
Cut a piece and see if it has a milky sap in it. If it does, it is most likely wild lettuce.

I'm with Stephanie on this.  Looks like one of the many plants commonly called wild lettuce.  Let us know how it turns out as it develops.  Dan Bentley

I agree with Stephanie--it's likely wild lettuce.

There is an older woman who comes to my garden in the spring to pick it. She calls it wild lettuce and i think she boils it. She visited Friday.

Plants that i can’t identify i send a photo to an extension agent and usually they can identify it.

Please respond to global warming in your own way. Let care of nature become second nature.

Thanks everyone, I'm thinking wild lettuce is correct. It does have a milky sap to it. Smells like lettuce, and the taste raw isn't half-bad. I think it would make a nice addition to some other greens in a salad. Interesting to read about the alleged sedative/psychotropic properties.

The barn dance I tried to throw last Saturday got postponed to Saturday, April 30 because of weather. Flyer is attached.

Following that, the next events at Brushy Run are:

Paul Sprawl concert -- May 14
Homestead Hoedown and Fiddlers' Reunion -- June 4

Y'all come!
