Forage: Foraging & Plant ID

Find wild food in season near you. Forage is the foraging app that shows you which edible plants, mushrooms and berries are ready to harvest right now, where they tend to grow, and how rare they are to find. All based on real foraging data.

Stop coming home empty handed. Forage reads the season, the recent weather and thousands of real recorded finds to show you what is actually worth foraging this week.

WHAT IS IN SEASON RIGHT NOW

A live list of edible wild plants and mushrooms you can forage near you today, tuned to the latest weather. See where each species tends to grow and get sustainable harvesting tips. Where to look, not just a guess.

IDENTIFY PLANTS IN SECONDS

Point your camera at any plant and the built-in plant identifier tells you the species in seconds. The plant scanner works as a flower identifier, tree identifier, berry identifier and mushroom identifier in one. Plant identification made simple: identify plants, add your find to the foraging map and share it with the community.

BACKED BY REAL DATA

Every species shows real recorded finds from your area over the years, so you can see the months that actually matter. No fake hauls, no outdated posts, just real observation data via GBIF.

FROM MORELS TO ELDERBERRIES

Track hundreds of wild edibles: morel mushrooms, chanterelles, chicken of the woods, ramps, fiddleheads, wild garlic, pawpaw, elderberry, wild blackberries, dandelion, stinging nettle and many more. Berry picking in summer, mushroom foraging in fall. Forage covers the whole year of wild food.

KNOW HOW RARE YOUR FIND IS

The rarity scanner shows how hard a wild plant is to find in your area and season, turning every forage into a small discovery.

NEVER MISS A SEASON

Add edible plants and mushrooms to your watchlist and get notified the moment they come into season near you, or when another forager nearby reports them ripe right now. Wild food does not wait. Now neither do you.

YOUR PRIVATE HARVEST JOURNAL

Log every find with date, amount, location and notes. Build a personal foraging history that grows richer every season, and keep your best foraging spots private.

MORE THAN A HOBBY

Whether you are into herbalism and medicinal plants, sharpening your bushcraft and survival skills, or just want to know what to pick on your next camping trip or hike, Forage turns every walk into a treasure hunt.

WHY FORAGERS LOVE IT

Foraging reduces stress, sharpens attention and reconnects you with something ancient. The thrill of finding a wild plum tree in full fruit is real. Join a community of foragers discovering the edible wild plants hiding in plain sight.
