不能出门旅游，在家憋的慌。总算春暖花开了，州立公园，附近的森林公园走了多次。我去年健身房认识的新朋友还带我去采蘑菇，野胡葱。也参加了脸书上一些植物群，受益匪浅。我开始陆陆续续记录了我认识的植物信息，以备将来查询。我在大芝加哥地区，所以以北方植物为主。
1. Pheasant Back/Dryad's Saddle, 野鸡背蘑菇（上，下右），背后的纹理是重要的判断标准。 low left is oyster mushroom， 平菇， which is found on the same wood block. Both are edible. Pheasant Back grows more wildly and tough to chew if becoming old.
2. Agrocybe praecox is considered edible if well cooked, but it is said by some to retain a bitter taste and is of very poor quality. 没有吃它，
6. Ramps, also called wild leek.野胡葱。叶子比leek 嫩，蒜味不够浓。根块也可以吃。It's also tied to Chicago's history: The city's name is derived from the Native American word "chicagoua," which refers to a wild-growing, stinky onionlike or garliclike plant — believed to be the same plant as the ramp.
7. Virginia Bluebells, 弗吉尼亚风铃草。
8.Fothergilla
9. 蓝铃花（学名Hyacinthoides non-scripta）又称野风信子，是天门冬科蓝铃花属的一种多年生球茎植物，从西班牙西北到不列颠群岛的大西洋地区均有分布，是西方常见的庭院植物。在春季，蓝铃花开出一串蓝紫色的具有芳香的铃状小花，在原产地，成片的蓝铃花会编制出一片美丽的蓝紫色花毯。
蓝铃花也泛指蓝铃花属的植物，包括蓝铃花（英国蓝铃花）（H. non-scripta），西班牙蓝铃花（H. hispanica）与意大利蓝铃花（H. italica）。
同时，有些开蓝色钟状花的植物也被称为“蓝铃花”，注意勿混淆。
10。 Shooting Star
11. 椴树属（学名：Tilia）可以叫做椴树花，发现中文还叫它菩提树.
12. Lady's Sleeper
13. See photos below for a comparison. 容易搞错的两种野花：
Queen Anne's Lace (Daucus Carota), left, 花型整体结构，主茎有毛刺。
Poison Hemlock (conium maculatum), right， 花型散，主茎光滑。
14. Elderflower, 接骨花。
The Elderberry is a small bush, peppered with delicate white flowers (i.e. elderflower).The bush produces small, dark berries that are commonly used in juices and jams. The flowers are sweet, honey-scented clusters of white that, when used fresh, make deliciously sweet cordials and liqueur – the famous and globally known of which is probably St Germain’s.
15. milkweed, smells good, can be cut and put in the vase for 3 days(read from FB).
16.Lamb’s quarters , also called purple spinach, can be used in salad(picture downloaded from FB).
再晒几张我家早春的几种花，都是不需要打理，多年生花卉。
17. 番红花
18. Grape Hyacinth 俗称葡萄风信子
A BULB growing to 0.3 m (1ft) by 0.1 m (0ft 4in) at a medium rate.
It is hardy to zone (UK) 4 and is not frost tender. It is in flower from April to May, and the seeds ripen from July to August. The species is hermaphrodite (has both male and female organs) and is pollinated by Insects. The plant is self-fertile.
19. 东方鸢尾花(iris oriental)
20. iris pallida,
21. iris germanica , 日耳曼鸢尾花.
22. sea pink
23. aquilegia vulgaris
最后介绍我参加的脸书群：
Wild Plant & Mushroom Identification & Discussion
Northern Illinois Mushroom Hunting
Wild Edibles
微信上的识花君不够准确，北美的植物也不一定涵盖。还有些app功能好些，一张图有时候也不保险。以上群里人非常热心，答案很快就有。记得以前email 到芝加哥植物园询问植物名，往往要等上几个星期。
注意，照片往往要拍几张。 蘑菇上面， 下面， 整体环境。告诉你所在的州／郡。
美国这几天确诊人数增加，不知道什么时候能出行。再继续认花吧，也希望给他人一些启发，丰富生活， 度过这段时光。
