im planning on doing lots of forest exploring and mapping by myself, and plan on collecting mushrooms and herbs to eat and make tea, or get high. what botany and herbalism books do you guys reccomend for balkan climate forests?
>>2877950You're not likely to get any relevant answers on a mostly muttmerican batoning forum
>>2877950Do everyone a favor and just eat every mushroom you find.
>>2877950I cant find anything good on Baltic stuff. Your best bet is to look up on Google; Northern European Wild Foraging books, bushcraft, etc or something similar. Try to find full color guides and books if you can.

books as physical objects made from paper probably fit the style or aesthetic you are aiming for with your plan quite well. Tho I would rather recommend an App called obs identify, you might not feel as smart as when you sit on a tree stumb reading a book but it just is way faster and usually much more precise then what you can achieve with a book. hf and be careful with mushrooms!
there is some google archive that you can useto search herbs. i forget the name of itlook for herbalists on youtube imoits very hard to get it to not show you the surfacelayer of obnoxious crap but eventually you mightfind some very good practitioners
>>2877950old thread but if you wanna dig really deep into this subject i recommend you you buy a field guide (it has to be one specific to your location so i cant recommend any) and a book about plant morphology, learn morphology first because it makes identifying plants a lot easier. if you wanna dig even deeper download Raven Biology of plants and Michael Simpson's plant systematics from either Annas archive or Libgen (start with Raven)Also download Inaturalist and browse it a little every day
>>2877950You'll want a systematics book, a mentor, and some guides your mentor likes. I wouldn't do mushrooms without somebody old and not dead from mushrooms to teach you. It's also faster.
