What the Hill Gives Up

A Highland foraging handbook

Sea samphire and purslane off the shore, wild garlic and nettle from the hedgerow, brambles and bilberries and rowan from the moor edge, chanterelles and ceps from the wood floor, and the handful of things on this ground that will make you seriously ill if you get them wrong.

First compiled 2026

Foraging for mushrooms in an autumn forest
What's Inside

One hundred entries, eighteen of them a warning.

Real identification photographs for everything worth picking between the shore and the hill, mushrooms and their dangerous look-alikes side by side, and a dedicated gallery of the plants and fungi on this ground actively worth avoiding, death cap and destroying angel included.

The one rule that matters: only pick what you can identify with total certainty, using more than one feature. If you're not sure, leave it standing.

Cross-referenced with The Sutler's Table throughout, so you know exactly which recipe each handful is destined for.
