Wild Edible Plants

WARNINGS & CAUTIONS
Some wild plants are poisonous.  Others have poisonous parts, are poisonous at certain stages, or are toxic in excess.  Before handling or consuming any wild plant, please do your own research by using quality field guides & consulting with expects.

This is informational and no responsibility is assumed by your choices. 
Never rely on only one source when foraging for wild plants. 

These plants are often found in many places yet my focus is the Eastern United States where I reside.

These are excellent books for the beginner and experienced forager. 
I highly recommend having at least one book specific to Wild Edibles and one specific to Wild Medicinals.
