Wild Magical Powders: Processes & Practices

Firstly, this article isn't about 'consciousness altering/psycotropic substances' - that would no doubt expose me to serious scrutiny from the powers that be, thanks but no thanks. However, this post is about wild flora & fungi and my culinary experimentations with some of them. 2014 was, among many things, a year of wild food experimentation, most years are come to think of it - always something new to discover and explore. One technique I explored and had particularly great success with was, powdering. Powdering wild mushrooms, seaweeds, plants, roots and seeds is great fun. Not only is it fun but wild powders, add to and enhance, aromas, textures, tastes and even aesthetics, while at the same time freeing up much required storage space - bonus!
