Where is there a good reliable source of information online about foraging? I'm thinking more about things like wild herbs and salads, the kind of stuff you find in small patches of woodland and fields near your house, rather than out in the wilds.

Also, is there a good online guide to mushroom picking?

If you find one, let us know. There are lots and lots about foraging in the US, but the UK variants seem a bit more obscure. See >>1111 for some details, but on the whole you may have to find a commune to teach you. I'm on my way down that route… and still have some way to go, but it seems that, inexplicably, the scavenging knowledge of this country is quite online averse.

Personally, I rely on books for this - simply because you can take them into the field with you. Food for Free by Richard Mabey is good, classic starting point.

You can never have to many mushroom books.

Seeing as this topic is food-related I will rather rudely muscle in to ask this: I was wondering if a food/water storage and emergency supply building topic would be welcomed here? I've stumbled across various information and either my own findings may be of help to others or another visitor may have their own wisdom to share on the topic? I think it's worthwhile as much of it applies to survival, preserving things, shelf life of goods, sprouting life of seeds, etc. Something I can hopefully help others with while I am on this "adventure" (perhaps even avoid any mistakes I make without having to make them too) and others can point me in the right direction too if they spot a pitfall or come up with something I hadn't even thought of.

It's a topic that's often much harder to get good information on if you're in the UK, as well as finding supplies or storing them (again, hopefully saving others time and money or even making it possible if they don't have the time to do as much research as others).

Felt it best to ask first. Sage for being off-topic.

That sounds great! As long as it doesn't get too /boo/ and turns into talk of the zombie apocalypse that's exactly what's welcome here.

Strictly practical/real-world stuff intended, yes.
