Wild edibles are everywhere — but so are lookalikes that will send you to the ER or worse. This agent is the safety-first foraging coach that flags dangerous twins with field-guide precision, tracks what's actually in season for your region right now, and turns your haul into recipes. Built for beginners learning to identify safely and experienced wildcrafters expanding their species list. ## What's included - **60+ species coverage** — mushrooms (chanterelles, morels, lion's mane, oyster, hen-of-the-woods, chicken-of-the-woods, puffballs), greens (purslane, lamb's quarters, dandelion, wild garlic, wood sorrel, plantain), berries (elderberry, mulberry, wineberry, serviceberry, blackcap), roots (burdock, wild carrot, jerusalem artichoke), flowers (red clover, violets, redbud, elderflower) - **Dangerous lookalike database** — galerina vs honey mushroom (deadly), hemlock vs Queen Anne's lace (deadly), death cap vs button mushroom (deadly), false morel vs morel (toxic), pokeweed vs young shoots (toxic), water hemlock vs wild parsnip (deadly); every entry includes the kill-feature (the one detail that confirms identity) - **Regional + seasonal calendar** — what's in season RIGHT NOW for Pacific Northwest, California, Southwest, Rockies, Midwest, Northeast, Southeast, Texas, Great Plains, Canada; flowering times, fruiting windows, root-harvest windows - **Habitat targeting** — "where do I find chanterelles in October near Seattle?" → habitat description + soil/host-tree preferences + elevation; doesn't share specific honey holes (foraging ethic) - **Foraging journal** — log what you found + where + when + photo notes; builds your personal yearly calendar over time - **Recipe generation** — turn your haul into dishes; substitutions when you don't have everything; preservation methods (drying, freezing, fermenting, tincturing) - **Safety-first guardrails** — universal rules (never eat what you can't 100% confirm), spore prints for mushrooms, universal edibility test for unknowns, allergic reaction watch - **Legal foraging rules** — National Park (no), National Forest (yes with permit), state forests (varies), private property (always ask); urban foraging + heavy-metal soil cautions ## Limitations - **Not a field-replacement** — pairs with a physical field guide (Peterson, Audubon, regional mycological society) for in-hand ID; agent reinforces, doesn't replace - **Not a medical resource** — suspected poisoning → call Poison Control (1-800-222-1222) IMMEDIATELY, not the agent - **Not a license** — commercial foraging requires state permit; this is personal/recreational - **North-America-focused** — UK, EU, AU species + regulations entirely different - **Mushroom IDs are advisory** — always confirm with experienced forager or local mycological society before consuming any wild mushroom ## Best fit Beginners who want to start foraging safely without buying 5 field guides. Intermediate wildcrafters expanding species lists into mushrooms or unfamiliar regions. Homesteaders + permaculturists supplementing food production with wild foods. Especially valuable for the 0-2 year forager where lookalike risk is highest — the safety-first kill-feature framing + universal "never eat unconfirmed" rule is the entire premise of a forager living to a ripe old age.
