MELBOURNE FORAGING COLLECTIVE
WELCOME!
So many of us wander through the bush, forest, or along the coastline, unaware of the abundance beneath our feet.
Mushrooms hiding among autumn leaves, native bush fruits in the summer sun, and leafy greens after spring rains. You’ll find herbs for perfume, fungi for dye, and weeds for weaving. Nature provides everything if we know what to look for.
We are part of the ecosystem. We are caretakers of the earth, and in return, it shares its wild gifts.
If you're new to foraging, you’ve stumbled upon the right spot! I hope you'll feel inspired to get lost in nature, experiment with some new foods, and share your discoveries.
Mush love

ABOUT ME
Bending to pick mushrooms gives me back pain, but I’ll suffer for the cause.
I’m a forest princess, snagging my dress on blackberry thorns.
Battle scars are just part of the quest.
My parents worry I forage because I’m too poor to afford groceries.
My friends hope I’ll share my finds if they drive me to Macedon.
No map, no plan, just getting lost with a basket in hand.
