Urban foraging has become a popular trend among New Yorkers who are turning to parks to find wild edibles like berries and mushrooms. Notably, foraging expert Steve Brill has seen his tours grow from one attendee in 1983 to over 100 in recent years. Brill has not only led foraging tours in parks but also teaches online courses and offers an app with information on 250 species. This movement reflects a growing interest in sustainable eating and local food sourcing in an era of rising grocery prices.
"I did have one tour in 1983 with just one attendee, and two years ago I had to turn people away in Central Park and Prospect Park when a hundred people signed up."
"[These are] the first mushrooms we found this year. Definitely one of the top mushrooms on Earth. You cook them in seafood recipes and they're absolutely wonderful."
