Those of you who live in Canada or the wilds of the USA where you have some contact with wild plants which can have some good calorific food content...whether by roots for starch/carbo-hydrates or berries for sugar...how about a thread which would help train others for recognition of these plants? Pic's and an explanation of how you recognised them would be very useful...together with what they can give...include trees as well...anything basically which would help when you needed it. What do you think? Knowledge like this is my most sketchy area...probably true for others as well...
 
I nearly always used to include at least some wild edible etc in my pic threads. The only problem I see is that I used to live in the UK ( where you are ) and there are very few plants here where I now live that you will find there !
 
Yes I noticed your posts were often informative like that...here in the UK I can get by OK...my idea was to have an ability to learn for differing locations...and see what we had in common...fungi is likely to be common as are trees if you consider Keilder and the Scottish/Welsh Forestry areas...but plants on the forest floor may well differ and particularly with berries such as the blue berry....however it seems not much interest exists in this...but thanks for replying.
