Devotees of free food know all about the elder, valued for its flowers and its berries, though if you like both you have to decide if there are enough local trees to satisfy the demand. It's best to leave some flowers if you want berries from the same tree. Some won't eat elderberry, considering it poisonous but my information is that the ripe berries are fine. The unripe green berries should be avoided. This is the third of the fruits providing the most nutritious trace elements, after the bilberry and blackberry, purple/black all.
Yesterday's mushroom was by some way the tastiest eaten this year (and mushrooms are what I eat most of!).
