Foraging for Beginners

In this short video, Robin Kort will cover advice on how to start foraging as well as how to identify Wild Oyster Mushrooms growing in the Pacific Northwest. Growing up in Vancouver, BC, she learned from a young age to identify native trees and then continued learning over years to find some of the best forest treasures like chanterelle mushrooms and fir tips. Because she started so young, she got to know each plant slowly which is what she teaches with her ‘one at a time’ approach in the video. Take time to study each new wild edible so that you are utterly familiar with its habitat, any poisonous lookalikes and when the mushroom grows, so you can find it easily and feel confident in your identifications.
