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.

Plus one to all that - excellent advice!

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.
