Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "What happens if I misidentify a mushroom?" "What happens if I eat a poisonous one?" These are just some of the answers that everyone can find on Google if you''re looking for something about foraging. The truth is that foraging can be dangerous if you don''t know what you''re doing. Unless... I imagine you''d like to walk quietly with your children and dog for a "family day" through woods, waterfalls, and old oaks and pick up everything that seems "nice" and "instagrammable"... but that''s not how it works. You, most likely, have begun to become interested in edible plants and mushrooms and would like to start foraging to cook dishes with what the thick woods and gray forests offer. But...there is a big BUT that stops you. Mainly, the thing that keeps you from foraging is fear of wrongly identifying something, you''re so afraid to search for edible plants for fear of poisoning yourself with look-alikes plants. Isn''t? What you need is to get over the fear of misidentification through a proven way for beginners, that will allow you to develop the self-confidence to identify safely the edible wild food you''ll pick up. And that''s exactly what you''ll find in my book "Pacific Northwest Foraging for Beginners," a reliable step-by-step guide with basic instructions and tips to follow for identifying and safely preparing wild foods and the necessary precautions to be taken in order not to fall into misidentification. Here is a preview of what you''ll find inside: - Identifying: It all starts with knowing what you''re doing. Correctly performing this step will allow you to identify which plants to forage and which are not, avoid wasting time trying to figure out whether something is edible or not, and finally discard all that is poisonous; - 15 best tips for successful foraging: after years spent foraging forests, I have a well-established method to always back home with a full basket, where I also suggest the best places to find mushrooms, fungi, and fruits; - Poisonous Plants Look-Alike: here is where we''ll definitively overcome the fear of identifying or eating the most common poisonous plants to the edible ones. We''ll find out which plants to avoid, edible parts of a plant and which are not, and I''ll also give you indications about the symptoms that cause poisonous plants (may need you in case of danger). - Seasonal Wild Foods Chart: included in the book, you''ll find a chart with the seasonality of the most famous and common wild edible foods, that you can consult whenever you want to understand, depending on the time of year which you''re, what exactly you need to look for and what in case it''s better not to pick up; - Wild Recipes and Herbal Solutions: Finally, you''ll have a collection of 150 recipes to cook tasty dishes with your harvest, including herbal solutions and canning and preserving recipes; and much, much, more... Have you looked at the price of this book? Yeah, it''s quite expensive. But how much would it cost you to misidentify a mushroom or a plant? The book is printed with color images to allow you to consult plants and mushrooms with all the details you need, and that''s why it has a higher price than others because the quality is higher too. But not only that... the book is pocket-sized to allow you to take it with you whenever you go to forage and to resolve any doubts you may have during your foraging trip.
