Mona Greeny’s guide brings together three strands of foraging: identifying mushrooms, medicinal plants, and fruit in North America. Its mushroom section ranges from basic questions about mushroom types and life cycles to distinguishing edible species from toxic ones, locating them, and considering ethical foraging. The book also covers identifying and harvesting medicinal plants, alongside a broader look at foraging’s history and place in modern society. Simple wild-mushroom recipes give the guide a practical food-use component. Together, the topics make this a broad introduction to recognizing and gathering wild foods and plants, with safety and responsible practices included in the subject matter.
