Heya,

I'm starting to get interested in foraging, mushroom picking in particular although the season doesn't start for a few months here. I know there's subreddits but would much rather get involved here on slrpnk.net, which would seem to be the natural home of such activities. Can't have a solar punk future without developing an understanding of our wild natural resources can we?

I just scanned this community for posts and it seems to be more about cooking than gathering?

Would anyone be up for a dedicated foraging community? Or maybe one exists elsewhere on Lemmy? Or maybe that's something people would be keen to discuss on this community?

One problem might be how foraging differs depending on your habitat, I think it would be good to have some kind of rule where people state the relevant region and season to the foraging they're discussing.

I've found biomes useful to think about:

Seems like a good idea, I'd probably subscribe.

There's already some communities that I subscribe to (they aren't hosted on the slrpnk instance though, but that doesn't really matter I think)

!Mushrooms@lemmy.world

!Mycology@mander.xyz

!What's this fungus?@mander.xyz (this one didn't post right for some reason, maybe the spaces that are in the name? Just do a manual search for it)
