Make sure you know what you're looking at before you eat it. If in doubt, do not eat it.
The way to check on key identification features is through visual clues, but also by using your other senses like smell and touch.
A great way to remember this is through stories, so learn the stories related to the plants, 'cause that will remind you of the features.
The best to forage is your own garden, as there is where you know what is growing and how it is managed. In your garden, you will be able to take your time to learn about plants, how to identify them and expand your knowledge. Following from that you explore your neighbourhood where you will spot trees with overhanging fruits. Learn patterns and start mapping. There are food and medicine everywhere.
