Self-Sufficiency: Foraging for Wild Foods

I just wanted a way to forage for wild foods if anything goes down. Now I have a book to reference to if and when it's needed.

Thin enough to take for my walks, with information about use, season, illustrations, when not to pick the plant, etc.

Excellent piece of educational literature. Easy to use and very informative

Good illustrations and beginner info

Bought this for my daughter as we are staring to take more of an interest in foraging. A nice size to carry around and some good information. The information is set out in sections of flowers, plants, mushrooms, etc which makes things easy to find. It would be handy to perhaps have a section of seasons and when to look out for the things shown in the book so you can find at a glance in the season you are in? I also thought it would be handy to have info on "lookalike" plants / flowers that can possibly be harmful or state that there are no lookalikes (they do with the mushrooms). Overall, we have found the book useful but I would always do research on different sources just to make sure we are foraging the right things. :)
