U.K. Foraging For Beginners review
A $27 UK foraging package: a ten-chapter beginner's ebook on wild plants, berries, nuts, mushrooms and seaweeds plus four bonus files, with no author named for a subject where mistakes are dangerous.
Worth a look
The structure is sensible and the safety emphasis, especially on mushrooms and lookalikes, is exactly what a beginner's foraging guide should have. What is missing matters more in foraging than in most subjects: there is no named author, no stated expertise and no idea how many species are covered or how good the identification photos are. Book2Book, the seller, also publishes a near-identical Oregon edition and titles on unrelated subjects. At $27 with a 60-day refund it is a reasonable starting framework, but never rely on any single ebook to decide what is safe to eat.

U.K. Foraging For Beginners at a glance
U.K. Foraging For Beginners is a package of digital files sold by the Digistore24 account Book2Book. The order form sets out the main ebook chapter by chapter: mindset and safety, tools and preparation, understanding wild plants, leafy greens, berries and wild fruits, nuts, seeds and tree foods, a slow and cautious approach to mushrooms, coastal foods and seaweeds, harvesting, storage and preparation, and seasonal foraging, built around a find, observe, verify, harvest, review routine. It stresses that lookalikes matter and that almost certain is not enough. Four bonuses are listed: a UK seasonal foraging calendar, a foraging journal and logbook, a plant identification checklist and wild food identification notes. The form calls the guide picture-oriented but gives no page count, number of species or sample images, and no author or credentials. The price is $27 once for US buyers with a 60-day refund.
