- merbrian, on 10/29/2009, -0/+4Pretty fascinating--wonder what I could dig up around New York . . .
- askantik, on 10/29/2009, -0/+3Check out "Stalking the Wild Asparagus." A lot of it is irrelevant to me because of the area I live in, but I'm pretty sure he was from (or at least lived in) NY for a bit. It's considered a classic foraging book with some personal history and recipes.
By the way, if you can find some oyster mushrooms, they are excellent. Those and chicken mushrooms are easy to identify, supposedly common, and no poisonous look-a-likes, but I've never been able to find non-rotten chicken mushrooms. My word of caution is that this article doesn't mention you need to be certain you know what mushrooms you are eating-- that's why I only look for some of the most common with no poisonous resemblances... luckily, many of the choice wild mushrooms are common and easily distinguished.
Walnuts, hickory nuts, and pecans are all delicious, too, but I always have trouble finding good berries other than blackberries. - diggdong, on 10/29/2009, -0/+2Good luck getting through winter on dried mushrooms and nuts. Remember you can eat the eyeballs right from a fresh kill.
- fakesmiles, on 10/29/2009, -0/+2Friends of mine run a thing here in Atlanta for urban foraging. It's incredible what things can be found on the side of on/off ramps or around neighborhoods. Apples, black walnuts, figs, berries, etc. Many of which are found on public land or where a neighbor will kindly let you harvest some from their yard. Most of their foraging is donated to local food banks.
If you're at all interested -- their site is here: http://www.concrete-jungle.org/ - hereticoftruth, on 10/29/2009, -0/+2Real survivalists know all this. But some survivalists can be found by the smell of their abundant farts from eating roots with high concentrations of inulin. Nuff said, survivors.

- robbiedo, on 10/30/2009, -0/+1My first thought was venison jerky, which is technically not foraging.
- Scottamus, on 10/29/2009, -0/+1Great info for the Houston area:

I've only ever really foraged in Norway and Alaska. Lots of great berries and chanterelle mushrooms. - wassim2k, on 10/29/2009, -0/+1hipster. I think he was originally looking for a different kind of mushrooom.

- spworm, on 10/29/2009, -0/+1I've always been a big fan of soylent green.
Very eco-friendly. - spunalot, on 10/29/2009, -0/+1dumpster foraging is popular among poor college students.
- Wuzizname, on 10/29/2009, -1/+1You can buy mushrooms at the grocery store - they're around a $1 or less for a whole pound and you don't have to spend the gas $ to drive out into the forest to eat poisonous mushrooms and get accidentally shot by a hunter.
Seriously, less than a buck a pound for fresh mushrooms at the grocery store - that's where I forage for stuff. - tombangski, on 10/29/2009, -1/+1I forage for food at my local supermarket. Damn hippies!
