Roll 1D100

Look up the predominant terrain and roll 1D20

Within each terrain all foods are sorted by season
1-5; Spring
6-10; Summer
11-15; Fall
16-20; Winter
Look up the terrain and determine how far into the year you are. The 3-4 items around that range will be in season.
Ex; In the forest at the end of spring you might find…
Fiddleheads, Oyster Mushrooms, and Quail Eggs.
Many items can be found in other regions or multiple seasons – modifications and generalizations were made to prevent duplicate entries and for simplicity.
Each item listed is an actual food you can forage, so this works just fine for low magic settings.
Please don’t use this to actually go foraging.
Many items require preparation and/or can’t be eaten raw. If you think that’s relevant to your group I have marked them with a *
