Worth having in the foraging collection
Great book; worth having in the: 'Foraging collection'. There is one wild edible per page. (208 pages so this book covers a lot of wild edibles). This book also covers important trees, nuts, seeweeds (etc)... And yes! - around half the book is dedicated to fungi! This book features illustrations (not photos), (which I am ok with since with illustrations the artist can show the notable parts of the plant to watch out for (which is sometimes more helpful than a photo)). The illustrations are well drawn but there is only one illustration per plant for the most part which isn't ideal. This book is just over 5" by around 3.5" so it is small and compact and it comes with a durable plastic cover and a handy pull-out featuring plants and fungi listed by the season they can be foraged. This book is best used alongside other more detailed foraging and wild edible books and other media (especially video) to get the most out of it and to help identify potential wild edibles accurately and safely. Some other great books I use are: 'Food for free' (Mabey), 'Wild food for free' (Hilton) and 'Foraging' (by wildfooduk (Renton and Biggane)). If you are new to foraging please let me remind you to remember to only buy foraging books relating to the country that you are in so that you have the correct information on the native species. This is not an 'ideal' foraging book. However I haven't found any that are ideal (as far as I consider ideal). All of them seem to be lacking in some ways, whether it be photos or sketches or missing plants or featuring too much fungi... Whatever. - We all have our likes and dislikes. But this is a great book none the less, and again; well worth having in the collection in my opinion.
