The Fiddlehead Fern is the only foraged item categorized as a vegetable. As a vegetable, its sell price gets a 10% bonus from the Tiller, and a Preserves Jar or Keg can be used to turn it into pickles or juice. But it also has some benefits related to foraging because it is found by foraging. Per fern, you get 7 Foraging XP, and it also helps you get the double-harvest bonus for Gatherers and the iridium-quality bonus for Botanists.
The Fiddlehead Fern is a vegetable that can be found:
Foraging in the Secret Woods during Summer (78%).
Foraging in the Prehistoric floors of the Skull Cavern.
Foraging on levels 41-69 of the Mines while the Shrine of Challenge is active.
Foraging in the Ginger Island jungle in all seasons.
Occasionally at the Traveling Cart for 270-1,000g.
