Wild Foraging Rules to live by:

If in doubt, leave it out. Always be 100% certain about a plant’s identity before harvesting and eating it. Don’t rush. Take the time to observe a plant over the course of multiple seasons so that you can see the young shoots, flowers, fruits, and seeds where applicable. The LEARNING is just as fun as the EATING.
Always forage with a friend or knowledgeable mentor who has more foraging experience than you do. Guides are great, but experienced mentors are better.
Use multiple identification guides when foraging (in addition, of course, to your Wild Edible Plant of the Month Club binder). I’ll be sending you a list of recommended guides very soon via email.
Harvest sustainably. Take great care to harvest sustainable so as to ensure your future harvests. Many wild edibles are considered invasive. In this case, harvest at will.
Stay away from areas that might have been sprayed with chemicals or polluted with vehicles.
Never eat a plant for the first time in large quantities. Allergies vary from person to person. You never know what you’ll react to, so test all new plants with conservative moderation.
