Right now — August
Blackberries and plums in the hedges, chicken of the woods and chanterelles in the woods, and the first porcini.
See what to forage in August →This calendar is built from what foragers actually record in Foragers Log — not a fixed almanac. Each month is framed by what's changing: what's newly in season, what's at its peak, and what's about to finish. The species shown are ordered by how often foragers logged them that month, so it reflects a real season on the ground rather than a textbook one.
Browse the full field guide, and wherever you forage, do it responsibly and within the law.
