What’s your first few species? While we have some winter edible mushrooms I don’t find them all that often so primary start time for me is about April. Morels and pheasant back mushroom and fiddleheads. Some years the pheasant back are everywhere. Looking forward to it and wish it wasn’t 12 degrees out today.
 
While you are looking for morels I'll be looking for models and while you look for pheasant backs I'll be looking of peasant with strong backs. :)
Have to keep the ranch going! :)
 
When the five or six feet of snow is "mostly" gone. First up is dandelions, then two weeks after snow totally gone, Fiddlehead ferns (I call them Alaska "Green Snakes")

Not a whole lot of good stuff to forage in my area, but morels and wild asparagus are popular in spring. Early raspberries and mulberries in summer, and then chicken of the woods, gooseberries and elderberries...

I’ve never heard them called that. I actually didn’t realize they grew that far north either. Interesting

I'll be looking in the trees for crossvine next month.
 
Foraging 55 gallons of Blackwalnuts.

They are quite plentiful and popular in Maine as well.
 
I hadn't heard of it until last year when I found it on the property and started doing some researching. It looks like Trumpet vine but they are two different vines from what I understand.
