I will occasionaly, but have not done for awhile. I'm always looking for wild foods and trying to use them.
[QUOTE]Food foragers find fun and cash amid the wild fungi
Hunting may get more attention as a primal human endeavor, but for Connie Green, there's something even deeper and older: gathering.
"I think it triggers something in people's brains that we're hard-wired for," she says. It "involves the joy of finding food, and it's really quite beyond our control in some way."
Green is a professional forager. She makes her living gathering wild foods in the woods and selling them to chefs, stores and the occasional very lucky person. Her tramps through Northern California yield delicacies such as mushrooms, ferns, elderflowers, salad greens, juniper berries and rose hips. Some, especially some of the mushrooms, can go for hundreds of dollars a pound.
To share the thrill of that hunt
