Foragers Log

Averment Digital

About this app

Foragers Log is a free UK foraging companion — identify wild plants and mushrooms, log what you find, and see what's in season on a map that knows where you are.

No account needed to get started. Open the app and browse the map and the full field guide straight away.

Field guide
Illustrated entries for UK wild food and fungi: identification characteristics, habitat, harvest seasons, hazards and care. Each entry has a "commonly confused with" section covering the lookalikes that actually matter — including toxic species, graded by severity — so you know what you're ruling out. Jump straight from any entry to where that species has been found on the map.

Identify what you've found
Search the catalogue, add your own entry, or use Pl@ntNet AI photo identification for ranked species suggestions. Every find records how it was identified, so the shared map stays honest.

Log your finds
Drop a pin, add a photo and notes, and choose whether a find stays private or goes on the shared map. Public locations are anonymised — your patch stays your patch. Find any spot again with a What3Words address, or get a bearing and distance to navigate back.

A map that knows the season
See what's croppable near you right now, filter by plant type, readiness, or forager, and search anywhere in the UK by town or postcode. Blackberries, elderflower, wild garlic, sloes, hedgerow herbs, nuts and mushrooms.

Track how a patch changes
Record observations over time — in leaf, in flower, fruiting, ripe, or nothing there today. Your notes keep the map's seasonal status up to date and build a real record of your patches, year after year.

Forage responsibly
Protected and restricted areas are drawn on the map with their designations and sources, alongside a plain-English guide to UK foraging law. We tell you what the rules are and let you make the call.

Communities
Create a private group, invite friends by email, and pool your spots on a shared community map. Discover local groups within 50 miles of you, or keep yours private and invite-only.

Free, with no subscription, no paywall and no ads. Every feature above is included.
