Yeah I don't think I was even mining in Black Forest yesterday, I think I was just in the starter forest. Gonna have to look on the map to see where I need to go. I think my seed put me on a small island without the forest nearby so I may have to take a raft over.

You will know when you are in black forest, just check your mini map, it should have a description of what biome you are currently standing in.
