Here's a website I've been looking at recently. Pretty cool, and all of the plants are from NC. Give it a look.

Peterson's field guide

Many grayscale photos, lots of color photos, and everything comes with a good written description


I will also add that you CANNOT beat the hands on instruction of a walk in the woods with someone who knows the edibles, and can show them to you.

Where are you located? There are some wilderness instructors in pretty much every southeast state that could probably help teach you what you need.

The Peterson field guides are great! Most of he time a book which is good at identifying plants, isn't the best at instructing how to use them. You will probably need more than one book. Its also a good idea to cross refference plants. Some may call a plant edible why others list it axs poisonous....

I also 2nd getting professional instruction. Nothing beats getting out there with someone experienced..

Check into weteachu.com I know Marty Simon does a plant walk in N.C. every year.

I've got just about every plant and tree book you can get about the Eastern and Southeastern U.S. from Barnes and Noble. Plenty of good books there.
