Rise of middle-class foragers' prompts warning on safety and sustainability
"From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging."
"The Trust reminded visitors that mushrooms and toadstools are the reproductive part of the fungus and picking them can stop the fungus from releasing its spores to sustain a healthy population. It also removes hugely important sources of food for a host of wild animals and even other fungi. Partly due to the rise of wholesome social media accounts showcasing nature's bounty and how to enjoy or prepare foraged foods,"
The Independent covers a wide range of topics, from reproductive rights to climate change and Big Tech, and funds field reporting through donations rather than paywalls. The outlet investigates political finances and produces documentaries that highlight American women fighting for reproductive rights. Foraging from the natural world is growing in popularity as a way to connect with nature and access uncommon foods. Berks, Bucks and Oxon Wildlife Trust prohibits foraging on its reserves because picking mushrooms prevents spore release and removes important food sources for wild animals and other fungi. Social media has both encouraged foraging and shared warnings about deadly species such as the deathcap.
