PEP Badge: Foraging

Question: Do you have to pick all the different plants in each category or just one in each weight section? Thanks

It depends on your choices.

As per https://permies.com/wiki/108155/pep-foraging/PEP-Badge-Foraging you need to collect 1-1 item from the lists of:
Fresh list
Dry list
Tea list
Dish list
You also must produce 4lb of seed bombs.

At first. But there is a secondary list that wants you to complete two different items from the following list:
  - catch and prepare at least one pound of fish
  - catch and prepare one wild rabbit or squirrel
  - harvest maple sap and reduce it down to make 1 pint of syrup
  - do 2 more items from the dry list (duplicates from the dry list are okay)  
  - do 4 more items from the dish list (duplicates from the dish list are okay)  
  - do 4 more items from the fresh list (duplicates from the fresh list are okay)

So actually if you choose to, you can satisfy the requirements collecting dry list elements 3 times and the ones from the fresh list 5 times.

All the above are about the sand badge. The straw is more complicated.
