Welcome to the forum. I would recommend Roger Philips's Wild Food as a home reference book & Richard Mabey's Food For Free as a field guide to get you started.
Roger Philips's Wild Flowers, Trees & Mushrooms are also good home reference guides. I like the Blacks field guides & pair them up with Mabey's book when I go out.
Before you eat anything always cross reference and take care as some plants & mushrooms are extremely poisonous and difficult to identify. Happy foraging.

Health from the hedgerow is also a book worth a look plus edible and Medicinal plants by Edmund Launert.
All good books but always take food on your camps or you'll go hungry. Look on wild food as a way to supplement the food you take.
+1 on the Roger Phillips.
Got both the pocket and coffee table versions for mushrooms - field and home use covered about as good as it gets.
