Thank you for clarifying!

The German term is "Pilze sammeln" which literally translates to: collect mushrooms.

There are many dialects of the German language - where I'm from, we would use "Schwammerl suchen" ("Schwammerl" as another term for "Pilz(e)"). This literally translates to: searching for mushrooms.

"sammeln" can have multiple translations. "Collect" would be more like "einsammeln". In the context of "Pilze sammeln", you'd use "forage". You forage for food.
and "Schwammerl" is even a term people use for other people
