Answer 1

You can buy very well illustrated books on wild food foraging (for all kinds of wild foods), which will be cheaper than taking a course and will also teach you more than you would learn sitting in a classroom. Also, getting to know a person who is familiar with all things "outdoors" will be cheaper as well. Of course, taking a course will be beneficial.



And no, this should not be required in colleges because this is not a necessary thing for all people to know academically.

Answer 2

Yeah. yet I stay in rural Arkansas and there are various wild, untainted places right here. issues I even have got here across and enjoyed comprise: Morel mushrooms Chanterelle mushrooms Nuts, each and every sort, which comprise white o.ok.acorns floor into flour. Blackberries/dewberries Huckleberries Wild cherries --tart, yet makes great juice Wild asparagus Greenbrier information --carry jointly in early spring or they may be bitter Poke Salet -- would desire to be parboiled two times Dandelion Sorrel --purely be useful what you're eating. I even have screwed up a pair of circumstances and had undesirable tastes/reviews...purely pattern an extremely small volume until now actually eating something. some issues flavor great on the beginning up yet depart a bad aftertaste. and that's no exciting.

When it comes to fungi, I would very much err on the side of caution, unless I was a mycologist. Yes there are good field guides with good pictures, but knowing exactly what the field guides are stating as traits for edible fungi is very important, and the language can be technical. I wouldn't eat a mushroom I was even slightly uncertain about, because many of them are very toxic.

U of London - Mycology - Prof. Tittle, mushroom foraging. We need to teach this more in our colleges. Also, how to build a dwelling structure and filter clean water.
