Don't forget to mark said plants that you've ID so you can see it through the seasons and find it again next year.
I learned a lot from my mom and other "older foragers"... I also have a library of books I use for occasional reference.... And there are a ton of websites.. I'd post sum links if wasn't such a techie retard.... Don't totally discount the sites database though!.. Great thing about it is that most the entries are user submitted- if u have a question just shoot a message to the user!
If you're just starting out and you don't have a mentor.. It may be worth learning all the most poisonous plants u have locally so you can easily identify and avoid them... Many of my friends I've started to bring out often joke that I'm more of a "poison expert" than an "edible expert"...at the very least learn the look-a-likes!
The roots are havested from fall through spring, you don't eat them, you us them to make flour! Clean 'em, peel 'em, put 'em in a pail of water and crush 'em. Scoop out the fibers and let it settel. Poor off the water and put in more water and remove any more fibers and what have you, and let it settle agian. Pour off the water and let it dry, pound that into flour!Quote:

Why would you not want to share valuable information in the forum. Sometimes I have found when discussing issues like this, that it is best to share so that all can see and review my information. If it holds up to the scrutiny of this crowd, then I am more comfortable in knowing that it is accurate.Quote:

Any plant resources.... hmmm well I'd try the forest, they are usually a good resource for plants, so is the neighbors flower bed, as is the farmers field and river banks.
I tend to find a lot of plant resources in the forest. I just saying...
i was to lazy to do that. i just made white creamy goopy stuff. i think it would make a really good base for a creamy soup.Quote:

I initially went to school to learn plant sciences.
The first two are keys we used in taxonomy classes.
The third is an herbal.
The fourth is just a general how-to-eat-it book.
Plants in the Vicinity of New York, Gleason, published by the NY Botanical Garden (out of print but available online fairly cheap.) this one is good for most of the northeast and into the Great Lakes area. This has to be one of the easiest keys out there for this particular area. If you decide it's for you, I can post the corrections needed. There are a few key errors that might lead to dead ends.
An Illustrated Flora of the Northern United States and Canada, Britton and Brown. this is a 3 volume set and it helps if you start with the book noted above and use this set as a secondary reference. Available from Dover Books. The nomenclature is out of date but the illustrations are very helpful. Again good for most of the northeast down to New Jersey and out to the Great Lakes (and into Canada) but the keying is very difficult.
A Modern Herbal, Grieve. Available from Dover Books. This one is dangerous if you aren't careful but it is a very good old herbal.
Feasting Free on Wild Edibles, Angier. Stackpole Books. Two volume set condensed into one book, formerly Free for the Eating and More Free for the Eating Wild Foods.
Actually I use Tom Brown Jrs Guide to Edible & Medicinal Wild Plants, and the Native American Guide to Edible Plants in North America. Marking the location and State where I found each one.
+1 on the forager's harvest. that's where i got started.
You should add what you know to wildcrafting.netQuote:
