A Chat With Justin Rashid, founder and president, American Spoon Foods

CS: While you’re out foraging, what are some of your favorite wild foods?
JR: I started out picking berries, but I moved on as I got older. Now I love to forage for all kinds of wild mushrooms. In the autumn that’s probably my favorite thing. I’m a mycophagist, which is a person who likes to eat wild mushrooms, as opposed to a mycologist, who just studies all kinds of fungus. I just go for the edible varieties. It can be very dangerous, and you have to be very precise. I pick wild greens, wild vegetables and wild fruits as well.
