You're right about Sam Thayer's newest guide to foraging. It's an incredible reference, and if you can only afford 1, it's a great choice. It travels well too.

I have ro say that my relationship with your blog is a Love/hate relationship!

I look forward not only to the blog content but the comments as well because your fans provide color, humor and useful suggestions as well.

I use Libre Office to collect my notes but I cannot get it to copy any of the illustrations as Windows Office can but I cannot afford the annual fees!

For those that can afford a Jackery 1500 it is truly worthwhile, one of my friends swear by his.

All of the products you suggest are reallly good, Some I have purchased myself.

As you can see, I am a true fan but do not comment on every blog you post because I am at my limit of superlatives and am beginning io sound redundant!

Thanks for all you do!

Don.

Yeah, I definitely don't shell out for office either! My husband uses Libre office, and when I use his computer I've found the same thing, it doesn't do well with images. I use google docs because it converts back and forth from web pages really nicely. You can paste whatever you want in there (pictures included) and it stays formatted nicely. Once you have it as you want it, you can export it to doc format (or PDF, or whatever you want).

I usually use firefox as a browser, but if I'm pulling something from the web like that, I'll go into chrome and use chrome reader because it cuts out all the ads and other extras, and just gives you text and images. There's a tutorial on how to activate chrome reader here: https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/14218344?hl=en

So, your best bet if you want to save stuff is go into chrome reader, then paste it into google docs.

Hope that helps!

(And Thanks Don, I'm glad you're here and finding it helpful =)

I'm in south central Ontario. Am I correct in assuming that mushroom species that are available in western New York state and adjacent regions would be the same that I'd fins here?

Just about all of these mushrooms (and all the ones I talk about really) are available across the whole US and Canada. The season may be shifted a bit, but yes, for the most part what you'll find in the Northeast you'll also find in elsewhere in North America.
