You can say you metsästää for mushrooms (and other edibles) in the forest too, though, can't you? So maybe it's actually more of a direct correspondence to "forage". And, is that perhaps derived from / related to "forest"? (Or fodder?)

[thematrixturtle]

Not really, metsästää implies hunting for living things. There's a dedicated verb for mushroom foraging, sienestää, or you can say sienimetsässä, "in the mushroom forest".

> can say you metsästää for mushrooms

Someone with a quirky personality might say that :)

Who, me? ;-)

Nah, OK, so it seems I've misunderstood that then.
