you're probably seeing either ferns, which do nothing, or wild crops, which you need farming to harvest. the foragable items when you start out are chantrelles, which are kind of a little grouping of white spots almost, and stringy taproot, which is a brown thing that looks like roots spreading out from a center point. when you get your exploration up a few points you'll see nettles as well. these are all on forest tiles.
