That’s exactly what Forage shows you: for every wild fruit, berry, herb and mushroom near you.
Foraging rarely fails on knowledge. It fails on timing.
A season calendar is an average across decades. Your spring ran warmer, your last two weeks drier. The forest follows the weather, not the book.
“Grows in the woods” helps no one. Without a species’ habitat you walk right past it, even when it’s two steps beside you.
For many species, two weeks separate “not yet” from “over.” Miss them, and you wait a year.
Six species from this site’s guides, their documented windows, and a line for today. Your region has its own calendar — that’s what the app computes.
The windows come from the sources in the guides. Whether today is worth the trip depends on your region and the weather: that’s exactly what Forage works out for you.
Forage is built on over 3 billion real nature sightings from around the world. They sit behind every score.
The rarity scan shows you how rare your find actually is in your region, from common to rare.
The data comes from museums, researchers and naturalists worldwide.
Star the species you care about. The moment they come into season in your region, Forage sends you a notification.
“Blackberries are ripe now” — instead of checking every week yourself.
The season sets the baseline; live weather sharpens it. A few warm, rainy days turn an average week into prime picking.
Forage works with what actually happened: a 7-day average, the last rainfall, and the trend for the next three days.

Forage helps you discover and identify wild plants, but identification is never 100% certain. Many edible plants have toxic look-alikes. Never eat anything you find based only on what this app tells you. Always confirm with a field guide, an experienced forager or a local expert. The season score tells you where to look, too: it’s not a guarantee. Mind conservation law and property rights as well.
