Safety

Know before you go

Forager Friend helps you save spots. It does not verify what is safe to eat or legal to collect.

  • We do not identify species. Information regarding spots is created by the community and may not be verified.
  • Never consume anything unless you are 100% certain it is safe to do so.
  • Lookalikes, contamination, and allergies can create serious risk.
  • Laws and access rights vary by country and region. Always check local rules, protected species rules, and land permissions.
  • If you feel unwell after consuming something, seek medical help.

UK users: this is especially important when access rights differ between England, Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.

For all regions: local laws and regulations can change. You are responsible for checking current guidance where you forage.
