I sell wild foods for a living. The best guide out there for the Pacific NW is Discovering Wild plants by Janice Schofield. Hands down.Just skimmed through that with what Amazon has to offer for previews, and that actually looks like one of the best ones Ive came across, Thanks for the referral.
It has pictures AND drawings, with detailed descriptions and where to finds... :tup: Think this will be the winner.
Appreciate it Pianaoman..

Also Smossy, You might check around your area. My Mushroon club is having our annual Spring greens foray's starting very soon. There in Kitsap county but you may find some clubs around your area doing the same...A mushroom club? That sounds interesting..
What exactly does it consist of? I always love to learn other ways I can live off the land :tup:

Its cheap and forays are really fun! You will notice odd people in Mushroom clubs. Lol They may not have retired the "funny" shrooms. But thats not at all what these clubs are about.lol Might be worth the $6 bucks just to see all the people out there feeding Doritos to tree's :chuckle:

Do you ship?
There's a group of people (Foraged and Found), who I buy huckleberries, mushrooms, truffles, fiddleheads, etc. from, but I don't often have time to consistently go to the farmer's market in Ballard to visit their stand.
I was actually derided by someone recently for buying huckleberries; she accused me of taking food from black bears. I told her that I would take her criticism under consideration.

Well I suppose you can't have too much contempt for Seattle & Portland with all the forest to table/farm to table restaurants that have blown up in those cities over the last few years......
Some folks will really fork over the coin at those restaurants where they proudly announce, "Everything you will eat tonight came from within 150 miles of your table".

Why any contempt? Foraged foods are abundant and sustainable. Bears are at carrying capacity statewide. No one's taking food out of their mouths.

Post by: Smossy on March 20, 2013, 03:16:17 PM
Smossy I have a good one but I loaned it to my uncle. I cant remember its title but I will get it back and pm you. It is a soft cover, waterproof illustrated thick book which covers all grasses trees shrooms bush etc and even speaks of the Natives uses of plants. Very good written by two professors here and oregon I think. I got it from amazon for 25$ few years ago. You would like it. I like to carry it in my pack and consider it an emergency tool. We could survive with no supplies if we had this knowledge in our heads. Medicinal uses are covered too. :tup:Perfect, Thats the type of stuff Im after. I want to eventually know how to be self sufficient Just incase.. You know... Shtf.
