I am newly curious about foraging and while I wish I could say I love the taste of mushrooms, I am mostly curious about their variations and cataloging. I want to geek and be able to name it as soon as I spot it.
I can confidently tell you we won’t go far when hiking because I’m too busy pointing and identifying 😂 also other mushrooms have better flavors than ones we find at the grocery store! Ie. The best mushrooms on pizza to me are chestnut mushrooms NOT raw portobello
So I've never been foraging! But your post has definitely inspired me to look deeper into it. Thanks for all these resources and reminders. I've already started reading through your mushroom handout. Also I wanted to say how your point about hunter/gatherer dynamics really spoke to me. I feel like balancing and sitting with both of these identities is important. The level of carefulness and presence that it takes to be a gatherer, or learn from one, is so interesting to me.
I’d happily take you foraging! Being both a hunter and gatherer is great for folks ie. I know some people who hunt turkeys in the spring also find the best morel mushrooms, primarily because the seasons overlap and turkeys love those mushrooms too! I also think that plucking fruit from trees like mangoes counts as foraging so I’m sure you have technically 🤗

Thanks for reading 💞
Something to keep in mind! I’ll let the pizza world know they’ve been had 😂
