Hello!
I think that you shouldn't be getting quest from very far away, like if its spring, you shouldn't be asked for "pick a only winter mushroom", for example, i'm getting quest for autum stuff while we are still on spring.
So forager credo is purelly based on luck, even if i can abbandon the season quest it will punish me, i've had to abandon 7 quest related to the forager credo because that stuff only grows in the autumm.
I dont think that the most basic credo should be that difficult.
I decided to post on bugs because i think that this mechanic is not completly intentional but it also can be considered as a suggestion.
Have a good day.
