This is not really about foraging. But, I felt it most closely fit this topic.
There is a free app out for iPhone and iPad that allows you to snap a photo of a leaf and it will HELP to identify the plant or tree.
It also has a quiz game.
I have used birding apps that have a quiz function and it is a great way to increase your knowledge.
Obviously, possibly identifying a plant is a long way from even thinking of eating that plant. But, an app like this can lead you on the road to discovery and make learning about plants a lot less frustrating.
When Google Goggles came out a while ago. this was the first app I thought of for that technology.
