Hello, I was looking for anywhere where you could go to possibly a state/area specific list for natural edible plants? Or if anybody knows anything about some specific plants they have been taught about I would like to hear that too.

Thank you - Ryan

With the lady inside,
And the smile on the face of the tiger.

Not familiar with any websites but I have a book specific to my state that shows edible things in the wild and also what kind of berries ect are poisonous. I know if you get to the ferns before they open fully ( still curled up almost asparagus looking) that they are edible and actually pretty good tasting imo.

There are quite a few species in my area. There are the tree ferns, a lighter green thinner leafed small fern, and a darker, thicker leafed fern. Which one would you recommend for this? Does your book mention a specific species or are all ferns edible? I will definately look into that, and just another reason I need to hit the book store. :P

Funnily enough my family has a big cattle ranch in the arroyo grande area CB, So if I really wanted "Natures cow" I would need to go for a 4 hour drive XD I just want to become better informed and knowing that I will be going foraging soon I would like some other things to keep an eye out for, if nothing else learn to identify some more edible plants/mushrooms in the wild. :)

We do, and that's one of our favorites too:P We have a spot on the property that had tons but got "raided" by some bitch and they never came back, found out she got 2 sink fulls... I know a few places less than 45 mins away that are good for morels too so we are going to check them out in a few days. I have heard black trumpets are REALLY good, and I will be going to a fungi festival in january to try out some black trumpets and other kinds that will be on sale there.

Prickley Pear paddles and fruit, Quelites, Navajo Tea, Piñon nuts, dandelion greens, pigweed, elderberries, blueberries, purslane, wild asparagus (not native but doing well here), Mormon Tea, Cattails, flowers from the red tipped yucca, four-wing saltbush. That's all I can think of right now. My mom spent hours teaching us what was edible around here. Just like her mom did and her mother before her, and forever and ever amen.

I live in california but I know the plant life there and here arent much different. I live in a slightly sandy terrain with a very diverse environment around me of sandstone/sand hills and all the plant and animal life that goes along with that, but also the river and forest and moisture right across the street lol. Unfortunately I was not around either of my parents or grandparents long enough for them to teach me more than a few things(that I remember by sight but not name) So as I have grown up I have looked into different renewable food sources that could be used in an emergency situation, hah I'm rambling when I should be researching:P
