"I am hoping for morels or something similar," he admits. Until this winter it had been years since the last time he went foraging for mushrooms. Much less trying to make them happen intentionally. But he is almost certain there's a variety or two he can grow underground as well. "And I have been doing much the same -- saving on things I would otherwise be buying in town. But...anything can be poisonous in the right amounts."

Mind, he does not always know those limits but it's an important fact to keep in mind.

"Having a steady supply of some important staples without needing to transform to make searching easier would be nice, though." In a pinch, he can forage in winter but when there is fresh snow, it's less simple without heightened senses. His regular skills were more accustomed to autumn seeking.
