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! 📚

As much as AI can help identify things, it can also be confidently and completely off. Please be cautious and don't rely on AI identification alone. Look up several pictures from botanical and biology pages - because even image search from Google and other large search engines can be off and/or inconsistent.

To add, wild food UK have a YouTube presence that can be really helpful for seeing video rather than photos.
