I really enjoyed the Foraging aspect of the game, but felt there just wasn't a lot to find. So, I decided to create Forage of Ferngill. This mod adds dozens of new forageable Mushrooms, Flowers Fruits and more to the Valley all throughout the year. Some are common, some are rare and some can only bound found in very specific places so you will have to search high and low to find them all!
**VERSION 5.0.0**
All modules have now been updated to 1.6!
Pretty much everything is new implemented. It'll probably only be bug fixes in the near future, but there are a few things I would still like to implement (once I figure them out)
If I can figure out how to get these items picked by the "Help Wanted" board as quest items I'll add that to each module.
Mushrooms still need their Gift Tastes and the Mushroom Log implementing. Once I have figured out the log I'll update.
I want to bring back the Remixed Bundles, but need to test them thoroughly so they don't break anything else.
I also want to expand Gift tastes to cover NPC of other mods. If you have any suggestions, let me know!
Enjoy foraging!

**ROOTS OF FERNGILL**
The second module of Forage of Ferngill is Roots of Ferngill. These edible roots can be found growing around the valley, but you'll have to dig them up first! They only grow in certain areas of the map and at certain times of year, so you'll have to look hard. The new roots are...

-- Bardic-Root. This slightly bitter root has been know to have minor healing properties. It is often mixed with Dandelion to create a sharp beverage, or fried with Cave Carrot to make spicy Kinpara Gobo. They can be found growing

While this may be a sign of damage to the local coral reef by increased fishing, Sailors have started making necklaces out of the pieces they have foraged as mementos of what the ocean means to them. Some people adore this type of necklace.
