[pct-l] Food Dehydrator Tips or Recipes?

[Edward Anderson]

Hi Dianne,

I can recommend a couple of books that I have and have used for years.
      On wild mushrooms:  "Mushrooms Demystified" by David Arora. It includes 
photographs. I have several other books on mushrooms but that book is, by far, 
the best. When I ride the Sierra next summer I will have along three species of 
dried mushrooms along to add to my trout stew. 

     On wild GREENS, the book that I used while learning which greens to eat is 
"Free for the Eating" by Bradford Angier. Unfortunately, there are no 
photographs in this book - but the drawings are excellent. 60 pages of this book 
are devoted just to wild greens. I will make green salads during my 500 mile 
Sierra ride next summer. Eating trout and gathering salad greens will reduce the 
food weight that I will have to carry. That might somewhat offset the weight of 
the three BEAR canisters that I will have to bring - two for processed horse 
feed and one for my food. Donna Saufley loaned them to me.

That clears up the trail name question!

Got any photographs of all the wild California greens you find? I am  
in California and would like to know what is edible.
