Hi ya WB! And WOW! This is different from what I-m used to watching. I love this and saved for future reference. I happened on this video by watching one I came across today -wisewomantradition- as u see, it-s not only wild meats I want to know about, but wild edibles as well, not only to use fresh for eating and medicinals, but how to preserve for winter use. I recognized several of what u showed, this week I learned more about the sumac which if u didn-t know, u might find useful (blend up the sumac using the red fluff as spice -I heard it-s actually sold as a spice- heard to save seeds after blending to make flower. On the mulberry, Bob said leave r edible, I have 2 n my yard, I tried eating the leaves fresh and by boiling -even young ones- for some reason they did not break down, bought myself a dehydrator for Christmas, I-ll dehydrate them and mix with other greens to add to soups, gravies and such! I also have 2 redbud trees, I knew buds were edible, found out the leaves and young pods are edible as well! Looks like I-m going to be busy this year foraging wild edibles and preserving, a garden to, As always, I love ur videos, they r always great and very informative! Thank you

I am not trying to be pedantic, but I have a correction to a plant you identified as blackberry. The plant you showed was Rubus occidentalis, or black raspberry. They are often times mistakenly called blackberries. There are many hybridizations of blackberry, Rubus L, but all share one common trait which makes them easily distinguishable from black raspberries. When you pick any blackberry the torus, or stem, comes away with the berry. When you pick a black raspberry, the stem stays in place, and you come away with a hollow berry, just like what happens when you pick a raspberry.

I don't trust your information very much mostly because I noticed inconsistent information in your fact listing. like you would list certain plants and the parts you could eat ( leaves, stems, flowers, and roots/tubers etc) but then leave out very important facts on plants like the dandelion where you didn't list the leaves as edible or the chicory where you didn't list the root as being edible or used as coffee even. these things make me question your knowledge on the topic in general and it might also be helpful to list things like vitimin content or calories per ounce etc

I'm not sure, but at 10: 45 min. you show -sow thistle- but what you've got is salsify (edible, oyster plant or goat's beard. Sow thistle is a light weight version of bull thistle--and might be what's in the background. You've actually got black raspberrys at 16 min, the fruit shape and leaf is wrong for true blackberry.

Really like the video, although I think that it would have helped to point out the identifying features of the plants to avoid misidentification, but overall a very useful video. Keep it up ---

Great video! I'm new to the foraging game but I'm trying to learn as much as possible. Something about being able to go on a hike and gather ingredients for dinner at the same time intrigues me.

Is there a website or list of wild edibles with potential dangerous lookalikes? I want to get into foraging but am worried that I'm going to misidentify something.

I noticed a few of them didnt have names or info about which parts you can eat.
Edit: Nevermind! I read the description! Lol
