I thought it could be a good idea to gather valuable resources for people to use whilst foraging! Feel free to comment other suggestions and I'll expand the list periodically. For now the list is minimal and general, but if/when it expands i might categorize them based on region or field of interest. Give us your best resources! 📚

In Norway, Artsorakelet from Artsdatabanken is a good free ID app. It warns you not to trust it enough to eat something because of it, but I've found it very useful to sanity check my own IDs, and get a pointer to things I'm not going to eat anyway.
Foragingtexas.com has a lot of good information for the state, many of the plants have a much wider distribution as well.
