Late summer and fall are the time for picking blueberries, hunting for mushrooms, and getting

ready for winter. Gathering edible berries and plants has many benefits besides their great

taste. Jackie Qataliña, Tony Perelli, and Dana Diehl join host Paul Twardock to discuss what

their favorite edible and medicinal plants and mushrooms are, their uses, the physical and

emotional benefits of foraging, and ethical considerations.
