Useful parts of the forest

Giant bird nest fern

vine that hangs everywhere and is deadly sharp and strong. Natives used it as a fishing line and wound around something to make a deadly weapon

Ginger leaf that people use to wrap food for the barbie in...good sub for the root ginger
The next two pictures are of a fungus that is like cyanide and the tiny chantrelle could have killed us all. Don't believe those who say you can eat chantrelles anywhere.
