Where to Start? - The All List

First post here in my new blog site - and with such a large subject as this where do I start?
Well I figured that maybe putting up the list by Granny Moon called the All List is a good
place to begin.


All mints are edible that look like a mint and smell like a mint.
All garlics are edible that look like a garlic and smell like a garlic.
All onions are edible that look like an onion and smell like an onion.
All opuntia are edible when removed of spines and glochids, not all are palatable (cactus with pads)
All nopaleas are edible when removed of spines and glochids, may not be palatable (cactus with pads)
All stachys are edible in some way though that way may very species to species, roots, tops, et. cetera.
All berries with a crown are edible (like a blueberry, huckleberries) but not all are palatable
All plantagos are edible (the weed not the banana)
All rosehips are edible.
All true pines are edible (and the Australian pine, which is not a pine, has edible leaf tips and sap)
All maple sap is edible
All birch sap is edible.
All basswoods are edible.
All true apples are edible, though wild ones may need to be leached or cooked.
All lichen but two are edible after leaching. Those two are Sunshine Power Lichen and Wolf lichen ). To be safe avoid any lichen that has yellow parts or is fire engine green.
All Mallows are edible in some way though that way may vary species to species (or for a smaller class) all hibiscus are edible.
All grass seed in North American are edible, beware of ergot which is usually a purple dusting and or purple rooster spike.
All grass in North America is edible except green sorghum blades
All true thistles are edible though not all palatable (Cirsium and Carduus)
All chickweed is edible (stellaria)
All lotus are edible.
All mustards are edible, tops and roots.
All radishes are edible, tops and roots.
All violets are edible, leaves and flowers. The root is NOT edible
99% of all aggregate berries are edible, like blackberry, logan, berry, raspberry, usually without cooking.

Almost all, 99% of white berries are toxic. I think there are only two rare ones in the world that are edible. Almost all white sap plants are toxic: Exceptions: Ripe figs, ripes natal plums, wild lettuce (Should cook), and apios americana (hopniss, must cook).

So this can leave us with a quite a bit to work with.
