I had a fantastic
and beyond informative interview with Monica Wilde - she is a researcher and
forager in Scotland. Not only did she grace us with talking about the natural
diet of humanoid species and how that affects us today, but her information on
foraging is unmatched to anything I ever heard thus far.
Her main tools of
the trade are a simple pen knife as to separate the plant from its roots - as
to preserve the plant and to keep the area of the forest biologically diverse
as you will not take away from the woods as you would if you have taken the
whole plant.
And also what too
look for in your foraging books- and what information to ignore. I can not
stress enough how important this is, as miss information is too risky when
identifying plants and mushrooms
Here are some links
to some tools and books you may be interested in if you ever get the itch to
discover the wild food around you.
