In today's episode, Charlie takes a shallow dive into the summer foraging grocery list. She discusses specific foraged foods she has experience with from mushrooms to berries and touches on many more. The summer months in the midwest are perfect for a fresh foraged dinner. At the end of the episode, she also gives some resources you can use to get started or dive deeper into foraging.  Disclaimer: This podcast or Instagram shouldn't be used as an identification guide for consumption but merely as inspiration to do your own exploration and research.
