Re time consumed foraging:

Three of us went foragiong for mushrooms last weekend.

In three hours we collected sufficient for 15 meals..... that's one meal for each of us for 5 days.

Its all about looking for stuff that's in season. Weather here is such that another crop of mushrooms should be available this weekend. This time we're goingto try slicingthem and drying them by hanging out on strings.

Also we collected ( and ate there and then) a lot of wild strawberries, blueberries and rasberries. You just have to keep your eyes open for opportunities :-)

Of course you have to be very careful about mushrooms. Remember everything you find can be eaten, but some only once!!!!
