Carolina Allspice (Calycanthus floridus) also known as Sweetshrub. A native to Appalachia and Louisiana to West Virginia (including AL, FL, GA, KY, MD, MS, NC, PA, SC, TN, VA)
Sold in 4-6" pieces - twigs - fresh or dried, approximately 30 pieces. If you've a preference message before buying. The scent is fantastic, when gently crushed, they smell of a delightfully rich mix of cloves and camphor. Neither flowers nor leaves are edible, actually they’re poisonous, so will not be included.
Can be used as a native substitute for cinnamon - grown locally, organically (uncertified) and veganically. Published recipes are lacking, which means a great opportunity for experimentation!
Perfume makers, potion conjurers, and body product magicians, this would be a great one for you too!
For shipping please combine order for minimum total of $55. Thank you!

Mad for Mushrooms is dedicated to the proliferation and learning of wild foods and natural ecosystems. Predominantly foraged, I focus on offering unusual, and wildly delicious foodstuffs for regional chefs and restaurants. Collaboration is essential to the work, outside of foraging and sharing knowledge, I am interested in product development, and alternative applications of biomimetics. As a vendor with Foraged Market, I hope to reach a wider audience, exciting more minds and mouths with nutritionally dense wild food products. The majority of items will be sourced in the forests and hillsides of the Ohio River Valley. However, when indicated, certain items have been successfully wild-grown in my organic, vegan, urban garden to offer a greater variety.
Please visit the shop to see what we hope to discover, and feel free to reach out with any questions.
