It is best to forage as far away from cities and industrial activity as possible due to some species accumulating pollutants (especially lichens and mushrooms). Always seek out a local expert to confirm the identity of a wild species before consuming it. Be especially careful to correctly identify mushrooms. It has been estimated that 79–83% of mushroom species are inedible/poisonous and 99.8–99.9% of fungi are inedible/poisonous. If eating any wild species, always start with only a very small amount to be safe. Collin and/or August are not responsible or liable for any harm that comes from eating any wild species.
