Foraging for Wild Items
One of the easiest ways to earn money at the start of the game is to forage around and pick up the wild grown items that appear every day. You can find heart-shapped herbs, flowers, and other edible items that you can ship for profit.
The edible wild items can also be consumed if you don't have enough money to buy food from the Diner or Cafe; you just have to hold the item in your hands and press the Y button eat it. You can't eat the weeds or flowers.
There are non-edible items like Rocks and Branches that can be destroyed to create building material. The green, grassy weed that appear every day can be given to Nick at the Diner to get the recipe for Green Dumplings and Relaxtea Leaves. The weed with the yellow flower in the middle is not used for any cooking recipes.
The types of wild items available will change from year to year, and not every island will have items you can pick up. You will only find wild grown items on Verdure Island, Sprout Island, Mystic Islands, Mushroom Island, and Volcano Island.

There are a few items that are "wild", but you don't find them off the ground:
Firefly Flower -
You need to unlock Animal Island and then befriend the Rabbits to 3 hearts. After that
you can hire them to work. One of the items they can find is the Firefly Flower.
Twin Herb - This
is just like the Firefly Flower, but you need to hire the Badgers instead.
Truffle -
This item requires you to ship at least 100 mushrooms in order to unlock the Pig pet. The
Pig can find you mushrooms once a day if you pick it up and set it down outside. The more
hearts the Pig has, the more uncommon the mushroom it can find. You only have a 5% chance of
getting a Truffle if the Pig has less than 3 and a half hearts, and it will increase up to
25% once the Pig reaches 8 and a half hearts.
