The needles likely were used to create garments from the animals' furs to keep the early foragers warm in what was a cool climate.

The organisation urges foragers to follow the Countryside Code - respect, protect and enjoy.

Dean Neff, chef-owner of Seabird in Wilmington, NC, says "We have an incredible diversity in this area – from farmers to foragers and fishers. That makes for a really dynamic place to be cooking."

And on her new plant and fungi walks, starting this month, Bay Area forager Cindy Li will share knowledge gained foraging with her immigrant parents.

“We are all descended from successful foragers in the deep, deep past.”
