    On virtually any job you’ll earn enough in an hour to buy more mushrooms and berries than you can pick in that same time.

      Have you seen wages? Have you seen the price of these things? That just isn’t true. I can easily get several pounds of berries in an hour in the right season but minimum wage might get me 6 oz of that same in season berry.

        Several pounds of berries in an hour including travel time and processing of said berries? I highly doubt that.

          Berry net and black berries, a single swipe and jiggle gets you 4-6 oz. I don’t know what you mean by processing, washing never takes long and removing stems isn’t that important unless you mass making jam or giving them to toddlers that can’t remove them on their own.
