Have you wanted to forage for your own mushrooms in nature? As someone who loves mushrooms, I have always been amazed at the few varieties in grocery stores. You wouldn’t know there are hundreds of different types of mushrooms, with fifty varieties common in North America alone. While I have loved almost every mushroom I have tried, it feels challenging to find them unless I order them at a restaurant or get them from a specialty store (sometimes Misfit Market has them in stock). While I would love to try more types of mushrooms, I know very little about finding them in nature. My husband knows some about them from his Boy Scout days; it isn’t exactly something we trust since it was decades ago.
Luckily, we recently found the perfect book for people like us who would love to learn more about foraging their own mushrooms – Go Forth and Forage: A Guide to Foraging Over 50 of the Most Common Edible and Medicinal North American Mushrooms by Whitney Johnson. We couldn’t wait to start reading once our complimentary copy of this book arrived!

Our Thoughts
As someone who loves nature and having control over my food, I have to say that I loved Go Forth and Forage. This resource book has everything you need to get started finding and picking your own mushrooms safely in nature. One of the major focuses of the book is taking the fear out of foraging mushrooms by learning how not just to identify various mushrooms but also prepare each of the different types without putting yourself in danger. Unlike some resource books, it makes the subjects of mushrooms very approachable, allowing everyone of all knowledge and experience to find something useful, even if it is just a refresher on the various mushrooms of North America. I especially love the gorgeous pictures throughout the books, showing you what the mushrooms look like from various angles and tricks to ensure you correctly identify and prepare the mushrooms. If you genuinely love mushrooms and nature, Go Forth, and Forage is definitely the right book for your collection!
