A short podcast episode about how to not poison yourself through foraging – scroll down for the video!
Being wary of foraging is fairly sensible as there is a real risk of poisoning yourself or others if you don’t know what you are eating. Identification guides are brilliant to help you learn how to read the packaging of plants, trees and mushrooms and is the first step to take when moving into identification of species that you don’t know.
Pairing a solid identification with knowledge from a foraging guide or another reliable source is the next step and will give you more detailed information about the edibility of what you have found.
Remember – no taste sensation is worth the risk of death if you aren’t really sure!

We are interested in every aspect of authentic, sustainable and ethically sourced wild food and this podcast covers it all; whether from the sea, river, land or sky.
The Wild Food People podcast is one of the ways in which we are sharing more knowledge about the intricacies of getting started or being involved in foraging, hunting and fishing from practical aspects. We’ll also be talking about relevant news articles and interesting stories related to sourcing wild food, including legal, seasonal, and unexpected natural or unnatural events.
There is no strict episode format for this show, we will discuss news articles on some episodes; and talking with guests about their field of expertise and how they see things working out for wild food into the future. We may also throw in some in-the-field recordings for good measure.
We work with nature.
We deliver expert foraging and wild food training as part of our wider work managing habitats in North Wales.
Every single one of our courses and events feeds back into improving those habitats, helping to provide healthy ecosystems for our local wildlife and communities.
