Florida Foraging Calendar

Florida's year-round warmth and range of ecosystems make it a foraging destination unlike anywhere else in the continental US, with subtropical and tropical species found nowhere else in the lower 48. The state's long coastline provides abundant sea purslane, glasswort, and other coastal plants through most of the year, while interior wetlands and pine flatwoods have their own distinctive flora. Foragers navigate Florida's wet and dry season rhythms rather than the four-season calendar used across the rest of the country. Note that Florida's humid climate also supports numerous toxic species that visually resemble edibles; mushroom identification resources should be verified against Florida-specific literature.
