It looks like it could be a good year for Beech Mast, many of the forest Beech boughs are hanging low under their weight. Beech Mast are also known as 'Beechnuts', hidden inside a rough haired burr is a 3 sided nut case in side which is a similar shaped nut, small and laborious to process though they are, the nut has a pleasant taste, although mildly astringent, with enough fat content that once beechnuts were widely utilized as a source of edible oil.
